I would like to make a basic html form II am not trying to take anybodys passwork as somebody thought before, i just have a book selling site, and my customers would nto appreciate an "You are about to send information thought mail..." and a popup of outlook express. I have been using other sites, but they have popups, links, etc; and i want this done by myself. I have an email address which i would like use, but would not mind and may prefer the information being sent to a file (maybe like a guestbook type) I will have a lot of choises on my form for the books. Remember, i would like html code

    Setting up a simple form for your site is easy in HTML. Here is a simple example:

    Name

    E-mail address

    Comments

    You should kinda get the idea from this how a very basic form works. You can substitute the fake info here with your own info and adjust the columns and rows as you see fit; maybe even place each input inside table cells so that they line up the way you'd like. Now, the real trick here is that you need some kind of script that will take all this input from the visitor and process it and send it to you by e-mail. I highly recommend Jack's formmail script. If you go to the site, you'll be able to download the file and there are really easy instructions to follow to help you configure it so that it will work properly. And you can make it as basic or as advanced as you feel comfortable. The catch is that your webhost or web server must have PHP installed. If so, this script will work like a charm. Please note that you do need some kind of scripting like PHP or Perl to process a form. The only way around is to get an online service to do it for you, but you will get those pesky popup ads. With this formmail script, you get no popups and it's completely free.

    I'm sorry. But nobody wants buy something from personal site, because its dangerous for their CC number and their data. Use the 3rd party companies. Or for easy transaction, u can use e-gold http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid=2311079 thats my refferal links. Or use paypal and other online payment site.
