In a site script I have, I have a box to edit a page but I can only add html to the box, or even xhtml. What I want to add to my contact page is a contact form that DOES NOT require the user to have a mail client like thunderbird or outlook installed. Or just a comment/suggestion type form that allows them to enter their e-mail address so I can contact them back. And when they submit the form I receive the e-mail.

I know this might be hard in just html, I am not sure if it is even possible. But the form only allows to add html and nothing else.

Edit: Also I would love to have the option of the user selecting like what type of support they need. As in: Other, Technical, Payment, etc.

You could post an HTML form to an online database like getresponse.com . Without using php, or some other scripting, that's the only solution I can think of.

Many hosts offer a mail cgi script. Check if yours does. If so it'll have a "how to" along with it.
If not, google the ol' classic named "form mail"

Yes, the form uses the visitor's own mail server. In case you do not have it, the code is:

<a href="mailto:myid@mymailaddress.com?subject=My%20message">
Answer my question!</a>
