Ok, I have entered into the world of javascript. I have created a form that I need to interact with. You simply fill out the form and a page is brought up saying thank you yada yada yada and it gives the information you submitted. Pretty much basic stuff. But I am so new, that I need someone to hold my hand. I am thinking that the information will be sent to a file on the server and then called back up on the following page. If this is not correct, please inform me. Anyway, I need to call that information back up onto the next page and create a data file in which it will be stored. In addition, this needs to be sent via email. Again, I know it's basic stuff, but that's where I am at. Can anyone assist me in this and possibly point me to some script to ease my pain? Thanks, I appreciate the help.

this really isn't somethign for jacasript to handle. You need a server side script such as php or perl. Some webservers authorize use of such things, and other webservers do not, you'll have to check. I suggest PHP as it's easy to get used to with a lot of built in functions and it's @ www.php.net

If your server supports PHP and you want some help, let me know. I'd be happy to help you out making the form handler...

I would appreciate that! I learn quickly and appreciate all the help I can get. My server does handle PHP. Thanks again!
