Problem Creating HTML E-mail Form

I am trying to create a form in html. It's hard to explain what I am trying to do, so go to
http://www.geocities.com/WallStreet/4205/headcount.html

The form I need is kinda like a table and I want the information to be e-mailed to me. For instance, I want the user to be able to enter information for multiple persons in a group like name, social security number, hire date, etc. There will be different info for each person in the group. I'm having trouble doing this because I need it to be set up kinda like a spreadsheet in columns. I already know how to get it e-mailed back to me. I just can't set up the form correctly in columns. I'm not too crazy about the way it will come back in e-mail. Maybe I can get the data pasted to a database? Let me know what you think.

OK try diz:


<table border="1">
<tr>
<td colspan="7">Headcount Information</td>
<td colspan="10">Action</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Group#</td>
<td>Sup name</td>
<td> TSP name</td>
<td>TSP SSN</td>
<td>Hire Date</td>
<td>Ramp %</td>
<td>Avail/Online</td>
<td>Term</td>
<td>Term date</td>
<td>LOA</td>
<td>Loa Date</td>
<td>Promoted</td>
<td>Promoted Date</td>
<td>Interned </td>
<td>Interned date</td>
<td>Pacesetter</td>
<td>Pacesetter Date</td>
</tr>
<td><select><option>Item1</option>
<option>Item2</option></select></td>
<td><select><option>Item1</option>
<option>Item2</option></select></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><select><option>Item1</option>
<option>Item2</option></select></td>
<td><input type="checkbox"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><input type="checkbox"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><input type="checkbox"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><input type="checkbox"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
<td><input type="checkbox"></td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
</tr>
</table>

If you want more lines in the table. copy the last <tr> till </tr> and paste it just before </table>.
Place the whole table between the <form> and the </form>-tags.
I hope this helps you out.
