25165	2001-11-22 03:59:00	i want to write some HTML that creates an email form on a web page (so customers can send dimensions to me) i have never used html or any software that creates it. Where should I start?	Guest (0)

Even if you want to use an HTML editor like FrontPage it's still a good idea to start at your bookshop or library with some HTML tutorial books, there are plenty of good ones out there. Or, you can also do a search on the web, there are plenty of excellent tutorial sites there too. Have fun!	Guest (0)

You'll need to find out if your host supports CGI/Perl. try this link... it's a bit of a lengthy read but it's a good tutorial www.webdeveloper.com	Guest (0)

The following works quite nicely:FORM ACTION='mailto:YourEmailAddress' NAME='GadgetForm' METHOD='POST' ENCTYPE='text/plain' But back to the original question about learning HTML. If you prefer learning from a person - don't forget your local high school's evening classes (although there probably won't be classes till next year now). I know our local high school has a class - because I teach it!	Guest (0)
