Web-Based Form...
found my way here through my isp's (bigpond) newsletter.
I run a site for a company within an online game and need the html code for a web-based form that will send to an email(s). I don't want it to send through outlook or whatever I want it to send straight off the page in IE 5.5
Regards,

1. Cgi/Perl scripts that process the email and return it to you in a sensible format.
2. Any other scripting language that does the same thing (server side processing)
3. Least recommended -- plain HTML form using mailto as the action. This returns the form contents to you like this:
to+bob+from+sue+subject+you+are+my+favourite+uncle et cetera...
What you want to do is determine the platform (Unix/Windows) and the language you want to use (Perl/PHP/ASP/JSP, et cetera), and then find the script to do the work.
hotscripts.com is an excellent resource for this sort of thing.
All these scripts will come with the HTML coding you need to use.

If your with bigpond then log into "Your Account" then goto:
Web hosting -> Personal Web Site -> CGI Scripts
there they have a "Form to Email" script and tell you how to use it.
