FORM NIGHTMARES! Please help!

Hi everyone

Having some crazy times with forms! I am new to forms and cant ever seem to get them right. I use dreamweaver so it should make it really simple but I cant get it to work.

Making forms send to my email is no problem but I would love a really simple form that simply displays what a user has inputted into a text area, such as the one used here to write the message! All I need is it to display on a new page in a simple format that they can print off including some other garbage that I will type in.

Problem is that I cant use cgi, php etc, partly because I wouldnt know how! But also because my server wont allow them without forking out money, I dont have!

Is there a way that the page can be displayed using java script, or even just adding to a text page, simple html or dhtml?

You will have to bear with me if thats ok, am very new to this stuff! This is probably the easiest thing to do but I cant find it anywhere!

Thanks loads in advance,

Matt

@Ben_RogersApr 08.2004 — Forms can be made with simple markup language, and if u need help on those then http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp will help you.

You do need a server side of some sort for what to do with the values in the form, however. You should switch to a new server and use php to pars, but if you don't want to then I suggest http://www.response-o-matic.com/

Success!
