hello everyone,

I've created a basic enquiry form, but now I'm a bit stuck.

I have an asp page that when the form will submit to. What or how do I get the values from the form and then send them to an specified email address?

any help would be much appreciated!

hey i_hear_beer

did you manage to solve it? just wondering, because if you want I've got some samples that might be appropriate?

You can easily do this with PHP, also, try Googling for "contact form builder". There are sites that do this for you, all you have to do is copy paste. You can also examine the code they give you.

If you use a generated form, I highly recommend looking over the generated code and getting familiar how it works. Using tools to make things easier and less time consuming is great, but not at the expense of understanding how it works. You know the old saying (from the bible, I think) that if you give a man a fish, he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
