Hi all i'm just putting together my first website and on the contact page want a simple form, nothing fancy just somewhere for people to put personal details that are then emailed to me. What technique would you recommend.

Hi Bazmati

Cheers Tel, just had a quick flash through that gonna go through it in more detail later, am i right in thinking that any form has to be sent to the server and then that sends you the data.

Yes it has to have some server interaction mate - usually a php code sits behind the site and your form goes to that and the php file sends the email. You can get a few pre-written scripts if you type in PHP EMAIL SCRIPTS to google

Cool cheers mate, would the hosts of my site have certain scripts.

depends on your hosts.... Possibly if you have something like cpanel, fantastico, something like that.... It's a long time since I used pre made scripts though!
