Cgi Scripts and/or alternatives (HELP!!!!)

[DAPS]

No, I am not happy!

Let me keep this short and sweet...

I need to generate a new database form for a client. I've created the form, but when I hit submit, it opens the the CGI file in the browser window, as well as the pop-up window I created. How do I generate a simple form that sends the data in the fields as text to a designated email address, or even posts that info in text format in an assigned folder.

I've got no clue about complex html coding...Til now, I only used animation/flash enabled programs and only ever used dreamweaver for aligning movies in the browser afterwards, so be nice and as concise as you can!

Cheers!

Well this is in the wrong forum . . . We'd have to see your code to be able to give a diagnosis ..

As for alternatives there are PHP and ASP ... Take your pick.

I am assuming you have a CGI script installed somewhere to
handle the form information?

It also looks like either the CGI script is not installed in the
correct directory (your CGI-BIN), or your webhost has not
set up the CGI BIN for you.

Your CGI script not only needs to be in the correct directory,
but permissions set as well.

Tell us more about where the information on your form is
being sent.

Better yet, give us a link to your form so we can see it.

Don't forget to mention what kind of server your host provides...
