Forms- Help!

[wunforfun]

I tried creating a form using this (http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/forms/article.php/3479121) link but the data sent to the specified email address could not be opened. There was nothing in the email content except a postdata.att attachment that could not be opened. What program is att? How do I get the content posted on the form? Any help would be appreciated. I want to keep it simple.

Stay very far away from HTML Goodies. It's full of incorrect and out of date material.

First, get your page to pass The Validator (http://validator.w3.org/).

Maybe this is the correct topic to post my form-problem. The form is written in plain HTML, but I prefer it not to use the installed mailprogram like IE to send the form.
I mean it should be possible to get the form, send to me, by web instead of an installed mailprogram like Outlook. The reason I prefer it, is the fact that I myself do not use Outlook but webmail.
So how can I write the HTML-code for < input type="submit" > without opening IE's Outlook ?

herow, you should of started your own thread for this.
herow and wunforfun I believe your solutions are the same. you cannot do this using plain HTML. In can be accomplished using a server side language such as PHP.

thanks for your help so far, but the problem is it not sending anything to my email?!

How do I fix this?

I don't have any knowledge of psp's or whatever you referred to but want to add a form to my website somehow.

I'm sure someone has more expertise than me on this.
Cheers

The thing is if you had read the tutorial you provided a link to, you would have seen that it said you needed either perl or frontpage , another server side language you can use is php, which one you write your form handling script in will depend on what language your web space provider offers.
You cannot however send e-maill with plain html coding.
