Quick HTML application form Question

~Rebel~

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?
