Do you have some source?

[rjstarkie]

Unfortunately not. I don't really know where to start. I have looked on the JavaScript source but can't find what i'm looking for.

javascript can send an email all by itself. almost all server side scripting languages can send an email on a web server. I'm not sure about perl though. :confused:

The file at http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html will get you started. You will note, however, that you will need to supply a value for the ACTION attribute of the FORM element. This can be as simple as mailto:some@address.com. Except that I understand that that will not work with AOL. You other option is to talk to your server folks about a server side script. A good number of servers have something available. But first you will need to know how forms work at the browser end.

WebSpace suppliers have told me today that I can not run any server-side scripts and they do not supply them free with out using a reseller package. unfortunately the space in question is owned by the client and they will not spend the extra £50 (one off fee) to get access to the server side scripts they provide. the company have also said that javascript is their preffered method for client forms not HTML please help. I'm really really stuck

I think you have to change your provider. ;)

If you don't want to change providers, you should be able to get a remotely hosted form-to-mail script, try the list of sites here:
