    Hey could anyone point me to where i can find out how to make an application form like this one http://www.sceb.ie/training/training_app.html which will allow users to input their information and the form will then be sent to an email address or something for sorting by employees?

    thanks :) have copies of dreamweaver and frontpage if this is any help for people explaining?

    You need a script at the backend (i.e. a script that the form gets sent to). This script (usually a cgi script...google cgi) takes the information from the form and emails it to you.

    You should be able to get a mailer script like that for free download somewhere. I think there's a webmaster forum somewhere. You may want to check there.

    edit: the page you linked to has the line:

    <form method="post" name="this_form" action="/cgi-bin/sendit.cgi"> this means that the form is handled by a script called sendit.cgi that's in the cgi-bin subfolder of the web server root.

    Clear? As mud?
