hi guys, i'm trying to create a form that has radio options and text fields. one of the text fields is for an email address, and the completed form information is to be sent to this address. i also need this email to be in paragraph form, with the things entered into the texts and radio fields to be integrated into it. for example (the bracketed sections are from the form): hello, you have just filled out a form on ______.com. you have said that you are [24] years old, and live in [new york city]. --> something like that. can you guys help me with this? http://www.mail-maniac.com/ has a form just like the one i need, but i don't want the redirect to their site, and to not have this and to have the email in paragraph form without underscores between each word, you have to pay $16/year or something.. so could u guys help me develop this form? thanks

This can't be done in HTML; it needs to be written in a server-side language such as PHP, ASP or JSP. To do this, you will need to have your chosen language installed and enabled on your server. Make sure you do, then post in one of the server-side forums.

are you sure?No, I said it for fun. :rolleyes:

i don't have a server, so how could i do it?For testing purposes, you could set your working computer up as a personal server, accessible only to you.

would a server that i would have host me have one of those installed?Most good servers nowadays do. Check before you order. Given the choice, PHP is probably the one to go for. ASP is not very well-supported, and JSP can be complex.
