Okay. You've probably seen sites in which you submit your info in a form, and then you click submit and it brings you to a thankyou page. How could I make a form do that and bring the user to a redirection url page in my server, so then the thankyou page won't be so dull?

Are you submitting the form with a cgi script or using the mailto method?

Most cgi scripts have an option to redirect to a page of your choice (if the script is hosted on your server).

Let us know, we'll try to help out.

First I'll explain my host so you'll know about my stuff.

My host is acomsolutions.com. My Uncle is partners with them so I can get some other good stuff for free (he works at pcdev.com). I have the first plan, but I have a lot, since I am a first timer with a domain, but great with HTML.

I have a CGI-Bin, but I have no idea how to use CGI. If you know how to, and you can set it up quick, that'd be great.

Or, If you know a little thing to add into a form that will redirect and WILL send the message to my email, then that's great too.
