Thanks Silent,

I'm using ValueWeb's version of this script for a friends site. It looks exactly the same.
The only thing is, is that it takes the <input> element name and uses it for the labels of the emailed form. So if I want a meaningful name to show up on the email such as "Contact Type" followed by the users input for instance, I have to make my input text tag as such.
<input type="text" name="Contact Type" id="contact">

I know this is a big no-no, having spaces in element names but I didn't see any other way. Fortunatley my javascript form validation still works because I point to the ID of the element as opposed to the name. Do you know if this is how its supposed to process my form?
Do you have experience using this perl script?

Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Ranji

I have used the script before, but not much. There is plenty of documentation provided at that site.

how about this?

<input type="text" name="Contact&NBSP;Type" id="contact">

*NOTE* I had to use all caps for nbsp because the forum would in fact produce a "non-breaking space"
