You either need a server side programming language like PHP or some services which let you add free comment forms in your website. I am sure geocities does not offer PHP or any other server side language so you can either choose the second option or call a PHP script on a different server and redirect to the original page after mail is sent.

I don't understand what u said, but i was hoping that some1 could make up a form for me so that it would send a message to my e-mail from a message box on the web page. that way it goes from the web page straight to my e-mail.


could some1 make up a form for me plz?

I can sure make you a form but making forms doesn't send emails. You need something to mail you and that can only be done with PHP if you want it straight from the webpage.

Yes I can make you one but you need a *PHP enabled* server. If you do have that then here's the code:

form.html (the html form)


<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="mail.php" method="POST">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" id="name">
Email: <input type="text" name="mail" id="mail">
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" id="subject">
Comments: <textarea name="comment" id="comment">Suggestions/comments here</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>


The php code:

mail.php (main server side)


<?php
$to = "your@email.here"
$from = $_POST["mail"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$message = $_POST["comment"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, 'From: <'.$name.'>'.$from)){
echo "Mail ($subject), was successfully sent.";
} else {
echo "The email ($subject) could not be sent.";
}
?>


Replace the your@email.here to your email address.

That's it.
Hope it helps.

so then...

Should have been enough...

Geocities (free) does NOT host php scripting. (although the pro version does, limited)
