help with java form

[muskokamouse]

I am trying to incorporate a form into a site I am developing, but I have never really used Java. Can someone help me???? It is a simple membership form but I have no idea how to tie it all together.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

First, that whole thing should be a single form, not a form for every field (but that's HTML) and the action for the form should point to a servlet written to process that form (that's Java). Other than that there's not much I can say because there's no Java question in your post.

its seems to me an HTML question..so I am moving it.
