Scripting / Creating A Form In Dreamweaver

I have been getting some forum feedback on how to
create a form and have the information go into my email
but still can’t get it!!
So,
I would like to re-clarify:
I have created the form and a submit button.
I am comfortable with the html document, but I have
no experience with scripts or how they should be set up
and linked to my document or form.

Here’s what my host said about putting a form on their server.
“i assume you mean an html form, and that would be used in conjuntion
with something such as cgi or php. we do not provide that service.
Tim (7:54 PM) :
however you can certainly put these on your website, you just have
to write them yourself or have someone do it for you.
check out [url]http://hotscripts.com”[/url]

I have been looking for a script, but I read about positives and negatives.
So, I’m not clear about what script would be best for this form. Can anyone help?

In looking at the document, I’m guessing about what to do.
1. I should create a folder and name it “cgi-bin”
2. In that folder, have a txt document named ? (don,t know what to name it)
3. Put the script on that txt document.
4. Those should be uploaded into my root folder

Now linking…
5. After I highlight the form on the document, the property inspector is visible.
6. What goes in the “form name field”
7. What goes in the “action field”
8. Should the Method remain “post”

Please advise what’s right and wrong with the above.
If I can understand this part, I may be able to complete
this task.

Thank you again very much for the prompt responses, this forum is
very supportive,

Brad
