    Default Is it possible?

    Is it possible to make a web page so visitors use a form to fill with data (ex: name, country, email, etc..) without using PHP or other.

    Is it possible to make that form in html code with simple scripts?

    Thank you!

    They can fill the form in, sure. It's when you want to actually do something with the data that you need a server-side language.

    er... simple scripts.... PHP. It isn't that hard.
    Javascript won't be able to do anything with it, so, yes, you will need to use PHP, etc.

    Thank you all for the answers.

    But if it's possible to send the data form by email it's good enough for me.

    Basically the visitor fill up the form (Name, email, country, etc..) and when submit the form the data will be send to my email.

    Is that possible?

    I tryed to learn php but to much errors in code, and the site i have now dont suport php. It's a cheap one...

    Thanks for your sugestion but...
    I'm trying to run away from php...

    I'm looking for a more simple way to receive visitor form data.
    I think a form that send's the data by email it's good. Is it possible to do?

    Not really -- you'll need a server-side language to do anything worth mentioning.

    You can just about struggle through with action="mailto:your@email.address", but that's not much of an alternative at all.

    Twey, that is good for me!
    action="mailto:your@email.address"

    I'm not expecting to much visitors to fill up the form so I was looking for a simple thing without to much programming.

    Receive the form data in my email is great!

    Is there any good form scripts in DD? What script do you sugest for using with the code action="mailto:your@email.address"?

    Thank you all for your help!

    Scripts? There's no script involved. You just put that as your action and off you go.

    Unfortunately, it's ugly and clumsy, requiring the user to have a local mail client installed (which not everyone in this age of webmail does), and sending the data in URL-encoded format for you to decode.

    You sound disapointed with this way of doing things...

    If you have just 2 or 3 visitors filling up the form by day what sistem do you sugest?
    My website server doesn't suport PHP or SQL... I don't Know PHP language...

    I don't know what sistem to use.
    I thought that maybe in DD was a script that could be simple to colect some data fields in one web form...

    I'm very bad programming.....
