Well if your host doesn't allow CGI scripts then their is a simple way to send the form info to your email.

That will send the contents to your email address without using cgi. I learned this from John Pollack....sorry if I mispelled your name John.

OK I think I may have this figured.

I don't think you can do this with HTML alone. However say my ISP says no CGI, then is there anywhere godd that offers cgi scripts and then all you do is put their cgi url in your action part of the form and they mail the details to you ?

Is this right and do you know anybody ?

Cheers Suzanne, thanks for taking the time to reply.

One more quick question.

I want a contact from on my sit so that when they fill out their details the information is simply mailed to me. I think I can do the form in HTML, but how does the info actually get sent to my mail address.

Do you need a script to do this ? Will it just sit on the server ? Are freespacce people like breathe likely to accept this ?

Cheers in advance

If you aren't getting an answer, I would bet it's because you aren't asking your question clearly. I have no idea what you mean.

Taking a stab in the dark...

1. A self-subscribing mailing list can be set up to let you know when someone has subscribed, will automatically sign them up on the list (so when you have another mailing ready to go, they will get one).

2. Such mailing lists are cgi/perl generally. But there are things like listbot that will help you out.

3. Auto-responders can be set up to mail you when someone requests information from a form, and also send the information requested to the customer at the same time. See www.zerocattle.com/quotes.html for two such forms that I have to give folks the info they need, and to give ME the info I need (that they asked for it). The form is submitted to an e-mail address that has an auto-responder. You need to have that capability with your host, of course.

4. Searching on your page. Well, this is ALSO a cgi/perl issue. There are free ones that you just set up, they index your site, and boom, you're searchable. www.atmoz.com is free. You can also go to a cgi script site and get a pile of free and shareware options.
