Hello :-)
Your form.. essentually is simple coding.. and you do not need 123 reg to make one for you.

A simple web form:

<FORM action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="4" WIDTH="90%">
<TR>
<TD width="30%"><DIV align="right">
<B>Name:</B>
</DIV>
</TD>
<TD width="70%">
<INPUT type="text" name="name" size="20">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><DIV align="right"><B>Email:</B></DIV>
</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT type="text" name="email" size="20">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><DIV align="right">
<B>Comment:</B>
</DIV>
</TD>
<TD><TEXTAREA name="comment" cols="30" wrap="virtual" rows="4">
</TEXTAREA>
</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>&nbsp;</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
<INPUT type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset">
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>


Simply replace [email protected] with the email address you wish the enquiry to end up. This is obviously very basic.. and there are other ways of doing it and a lot more 'objects' that you can add... i suggest you google it (and html) and read through the stuff to get a basic understanding.

Also forms are easy to create in programs like dynamic page editors.. such as Dreamweaver or NVU.. (the later is free)

On the topic of 123-reg.. they are ok.
they are a PIPEX company.. who own a number of webhosts.. Donhost, Webfusion (i think), 123-reg, Supanames, the later is my brothers old company which he sold to them last year.. he then acted as the Pipex director of Hosting for a while before leaving to set up another company..

The main thing i can say about Pipex is that there support is pretty poor.. although I can vouch for Supanames who use a seperate support system and team.. whom i all know.. and they are brilliant and will do anything to help you out.

Hope some of that blurb helps you out

I'm with 123 reg.

if you're on about the "contact us" page then you need to select it on your pages (the tick boxes one)

once you've done that open the page and it should show as "feedback module" double click this one and it'll open to the page where you can fill in the necersary bits and bobs including email address.

you can use the tabs at the top to select your fields and preview


Hope that helps!

I'd have to recommend against using the form posted here, unless you want bucketloads of spam sent through your form.

All data entered into the form should be validated somehow to make sure it isn't being abused. A little more reading and slightly more difficult to setup, but well worth it, would be a PHP form with built-in security checks.

Of course your server has to support PHP but I'd be very surprised if it didn't.

See this thread (http://www.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=6041).

yup. best to put variables etc in so the email is 'hidden'.
also that script uses the default mail thing.. eg. outlook which isn't ideal.. but it is a simple one like i said..

Anyway.. i am not working at the theatre tomorrow so ill be on msn to give you a few links :)
