I am trying to have an online html that will be filled out by users and then they can hit a submit button. When the submit button is depressed, it will email me the results of the info they filled out.
Is this possible? I am using Front Page 2002.
It is basically drop down menus. They make selections and then want to send the results to me via email. Sounds easy but I am a Novice.
Thanks, Rick

submit forms are easy to make but you need a webhost that supports cgi and then you need a cgi script
making a form with frontpage is dead easy, just look it up in the help section or tuturials, I'm sure they have it
you can go here to look for a host with cgi: http://freewebspace.net/ or http://www.hostindex.com/
and here for a good cgi script: http://www.scriptarchive.com/

How do I know if I have cgi?
We are running a Novell server with Border Manager. How can I tell?

ohh its on your own server? lucky you... you're in another league now.
ask someone who runs the server if they can run any cgi. I can't really help you there cos I've never worked on my own server (yet) so I don't know what it involves
