Hi all.
Can you give me or do you know where I can find a simple JavaScript script that users will complete a question, their Name, their E-mail and it will send the results to me in an e-mail.
I think it can be done but just don't know how

Not easily with Javascript. In any case, it would involve some crucial server-side scripting to handle sending the message. And it definitely won't be secure or reliable. Best bet is to make a plain old form and submit information to a PHP/ASP/CGI formmail script.

CGI is a framework that can be used by Perl (CGI.pm). Much like ASP/VBScript.

CGI stands for "Common Gateway Interface", which if my understanding is correct, all server side technologies use.

what they are suggesting is to use a server side technology like ASP,PHP,CF or PEARL
you will need to choose one of those and have your site hosted where that technology is supported.

I highly recomend that you learn PHP. It's worth its wait in gold. I don't want to discourage or irritate or set off any cgi or asp programers, but I really do think that PHP is the way of the future. It's been gaining on ASP for a long time and CGI is all but obsolete by comparison to PHP and ASP. Plus, PHP is an actual language of it's own. You don't have to learn it and then learn another language to run it.

If you can't run cgi on your server or need a quick easy solution have a look at these:
