Hey,

I want to make form in dreamweaver MX where people can fill in data.
Making the form is no problem but how can I make a form which mails all the
data filled in to my email-adress.

I have heart you must have a script. But where do I find one. And how does ik
work. I have find some already but I have troubles with the configuration of
it. Where must I place this scripts?

...

THanks

What server models does your host support? Before selecting a form
processing script, you must know which ones to select (e.g., ASP, CF, PHP,
perl, etc.).

i find the easiest way to create a form is to just use one of the free CGI
scripts. Here is a link to a free one with instructions on how to set it up:
http://bignosebird.com/carchive/bnbform.shtml
Since you say you know how to create the form, then all you need to do is put
the script into your CGI bin located on your server where your site is located.
You also have to use the correct "POST" command in the form.
But if you visit the link the documentation is straightforward and you will be
on your way to creating a form with a few extras included.
