okay first off let me say i am a n00b at website design. that being said i am not a complete idiot and i am trying to teach my self how to do forms as of right now.
I am trying to get a form when submited to either send to my e-mail (preferably) or Post to a "hidden" page of sorts so i can retrieve the information, Now i know how to set a mailto link in the submit button to e-mail me but alot of people use web based e-mail clients such as yahoo and this probably wont work for them. I also know inorder for my site to send the mail i need to set up i believe CGIemail in my cgi-bin folder.
but i have no clue on how to do this.
This is my host
http://www.totallyfreewebsitehosting.com/
and they use an interface called cpanel to manage my site.
it states they have cgiemail preinstalled but i am not sure how to get the submit button to get the server to send the e-mail.
this message kind of rambles and i am sorry i will edit with cliff's when i get home from work to make the read much easier.
