Hey guys,
I'm no n00b with html I know most of what there is to it. But I'm still stumped with this one thing, maybe someone could help me.
~How do you link a submit button for example to go to to places.
Ex. I want my submit button to email us the information that the users filled out. And at the same time there sent to a new page to move on to step 3.

Well, for emailing you can use a simple JavaScript form, theres countless examples, or make a PHP script.
A standard submit button will submit the form and send the data to the server, then go to the next page, so if you had:
<form action="newpage.php" method="POST">
Enter Your Email To Subscribe: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe!">
</form>
That would move to newpage.php. You can get the form data in PHP.
There's another method though. You can also make a Button type <input> (which looks the same as a type="submit" button, but does a different job).
For example, you could make a button link to another page like this:
<input type="button" onClick="document.url='newpage.php';" value="Click The Button!">
Hope this helped

Ok, how about in html. I dont know java
to send information correctly to your inbox and have the visitor routed to a thanks page, you will need to use a serverside language.
if you are able to use PHP or Perl scripts of your own, try here...
http://www.hotscripts.com
if you want to keep it really simple and not do too much work, use a service like bravenet...

html on its own will not do this.
javascript kinda does this, but is rather limited.

Hi
This is a server side scripting and this can be done with any of the following:-
PHP
ASP
CGI
You can check hotscripts.com for the same and you will find the script. One thing more that if you want customized script for the form submission with autoresponder, then any company which do the web design can do for you at very minimum cost of the 20 to 30 usd.
The thing is that free scripts are good for those who has knowledge of the programming, as you have written that you have only HTML knowledge and i thinkk it will be difficult for you to customize the PHP script, let me know if i can help in any way...
