As they say in talk radio, I'm a first-time caller but a long-time listener, so a big hello and thanks for all the great free advice I have already consumed for you guys and guyettes.

My problem/question: On my site, classic-british-cars.com, I want my visitors to send in classified ads with photos of cars they are wanting to sell. I am currently just using . I would rather give them a form to fill out and I know how to do that, except for giving them the ability to add attachments for their photo(s).

I would prefer to do this in HTML since I have no experience in script writing.

Any advice?

Welcome to TWF and it's great to be 'seeing' you.

You will need to add another input field to your form like this:
that will add a text box and a browse button so they can navigate to the image on their system and it will then add it to the form when it is sent to you on submit.

Thanks Julia. This is what I needed. I have so many $50 programming books that I dreaded needing to buy another.

Just a note that you'll likely require server-side scripting. Depending on what languages are supported in your hosting, there are a number of different scripts available that aren't hard to implement.
