aeroplane.
I'm looking for a submit form that allows people to send things to my email from my site. I'm just telling you. I have NO idea on how to work PHP.

Dodo's mail really easy: http://regretless.com/scripts/scripts.php But kinda complicated at first.

First one involves php. Second link (pixelfx) contains simple codes for different email forms. You can add/adjust the boxes. Like if you have a challenge site you can add entry boxes. Etc. I suggest the second link if you want something really simple and easy.

Thanks Toya. But it says to edit whats in CAPS. What do I change the VALUE to?

Which one are you using?

That one. Did I choose the right one?

Thats the link to the tutorial page. She uses iframes so you have to right click for the link. If you want an email form with as many sections as you want . Use this one:
http://pixelfx.org/tuts/html/emailforms.html

It tells you what you put for each different value .

Ok. So I don't change the value part?
freeflow
Yea. Well ok. Just edit the bold stuff with what it says:
QUOTE
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://cgi21.Freedback.com/mail.pl" target="_blank">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="to" VALUE="PUT YOUR EMAIL HERE">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="subject" VALUE="EMAIL SUBJECT">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="form" VALUE="PUT YOUR URL HERE">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="admin" VALUE="PUT YOUR EMAIL HERE AGAIN">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="language" VALUE="en">


Example if I was doing it I would change:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="to" VALUE="PUT YOUR EMAIL HERE">
to
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="to" VALUE="toya@dramatiq.org">

Then in this part of the code edit the colors to what you want:
QUOTE
<p> <input name="name" value="name" size=20 style="background-color:COLOR; color: COLOR; font-face: FONT NAME; font-size: 8pt; border: 1 black solid"> <br>
<input name="email" value="email" size=20 style="background-color:COLOR; color:COLOR; font-face: FONT NAME; font-size: 8pt; border: 1 black solid"> <br>
<input name="url" value="url" size=20 style="background-color:COLOR; COLOR; font-face: FONT NAME; font-size: 8pt; border: 1 black solid"> <br>
<TEXTAREA NAME="tell me" ROWS="5" COLS="13" style="background-color:COLOR; color: COLOR; font-face: FONT NAME; font-size: 8pt; border: 1 black solid">Comments go here</TEXTAREA> <br>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Submit" value="Send!" style="background-color:COLOR; color: COLOR; font-face: FONT NAME; font-size: 8pt; border: 1 black solid">
</FORM>
