The answer depends on what you want your form to do. There are lots of server scripts out there to handle all kinds of forms. I suggest you google for the kind of action you want. "script to send email from contact form" for example.

Do you have PHP on your server? If you do, you might want to check this out. It's a form processor wizard generator thing, a really good one IMO. I used it for a while and then learned PHP for myself.

The PHP solution teammatt3 suggests looks like a good one.
If you don't want to mess with PHP on your server, but are willing to use a different server for the form, there's a solution from wufoo.com.
I just came across this. It gives you valid XHTML and CSS as well, so it's a complete solution. Checking a couple of samples, I noticed it has anti-spam techniques, too.
Free for non-commercial use. The commercial version costs, but includes money transaction processing (if you need it).
