What server-side scripting languages does the server support? ASP,
ColdFusion, PHP? PERL CGI scripts?

Hi,

I am hosting with fasthosts on a linux server for this particular page. The server uses PERL cgi scripts.

Thanks for your time

Then I'd recommend the NMS Formmail script, available at
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net. I believe there are instructions and
tutorials on the site, and posting here with specific questions should get
you some help as well. Installing it isn't a complete no-brainer, but isn't
as hard as it might initially seem either.

You're welcome, and hope that might help.

You're very welcome. If you do end up with questions, I'd suggest posting a
new thread, with 'NMS Form Mail' in the subject line - not because I'm not
willing to help, but because there are people around who know it much better
than I do.

Cheers,
