i tried using waks php question and answer form but i cudn't sort it out so im trying to do it manually but just inserting a simple email field? Anyway when i did it following the instructions on here about forms, when i went to test it n clicked submit it came up with outlook express as a email. Basically what i want is it to go to my email or sumthing like a ask n answer script but not for it to come up as a seperate email...if this makes any sense at all

if you look at the value in the ACTION part which is in your FORM tag, you will probably see the word MAILTO. that is your problem.

to make a true feedback type form, you must use a serverside script like PHP or Perl. the information of the form will go into the script and then get sent into your email inbox. the ACTION value will be the path to the serverside script.

if you want to use a script on your own, there are plenty to find here...

if you want to use a "hosted" script (just easy setup for now but contains a bit of ads), try here...
