Hi,

I cant find exactly what im looking for so maybe someone can help me.
Im looking for a code that will let me post form submissions to a text file.

The form will be a simple one, a box for a name and a box for an answer.
I cannot find anything that has been of use thats why i decided to regester so i could post what im looking for here to see if anyone could help me.

Im not a very good coder, but i can edit basic html.

Depending upon where you want to do this, like if its live on the web, you would need server side code. It need not be too complex. But you would need a host that provides it, and there are different types. The two most popular are PHP and asp.

Find out what is available to you. And, in the end, if you really want to keep track of the information, a simple database rather than a textfile might be a better choice.

If this is only for your own local use, IE could possibly be used along with its Active X file writing/editing capabilities. However, there will be warnings each time the browser accesses the files on the hard drive to create or edit them.
