you need to use a server-side language like ASP, PHP, etc.

Put this in the body of your page:
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td align="right"><form action="mailto:your_email_address@yahoo.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain" name="myform">
<font style="font:bold 14px tahoma;color:red">Username:</font><input type="text" size="20" name="username"><br>
<font style="font:bold 14px tahoma;color:blue">ID#:</font><input type="text" size="20" name="id"><br>
<input type="reset" name="rset" style="font:bold 12px tahoma;color:white;background-color:red" value="Clear">
<input type="submit" name="snd" style="font:bold 12px tahoma;color:yellow;background-color:green" value="Send">
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
...and Presto!
Personally, I'd just use a remotely-hosted form, follow the directions, and customize text fields to your hearts content. Try the free form here (http://bravenet.com).
The advantage of the remotely-hosted form is that you don't get the prompt "Warning: You're about to send email, etc." when using the above <action="mailto:"> tag because the email client doesn't pop up. It's just sent without the user even knowing it...then redirected to the page of your choice all using their ASP & PHP. :D
