    hey, I need a tutorial or guide for HTML forms. I want to know how they gather and sort info, and how to create one. If you have resources for this, please let me know. I'm looking for something that doesn't cost money, if possible. I don't want to pay for classes :p

    Use The Following Code:

    <form action="mailto:email address" method="get" enctype="text/plain">
    Name:<input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="30" /><br>
    Please rate my site from 1 to 10 (1 = bad and 10 = good):<br>
    <select name="rating" id="rating"><br>
    <option>1</option>
    <option>2</option>
    <option>3</option>
    <option>4</option>
    <option>5</option>
    <option>6</option>
    <option>7</option>
    <option>8</option>
    <option>9</option>
    <option selected>10</option>
    </select><br>
    How would you suggest I improve it?<br>
    <textarea name="improve" id="improve" rows="5" cols="30"></textarea><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Send Feedback" /><input type="reset" />
    </form>

    Thanks, I used this option.
    But, it takes me to hotmail.com when I click on submit option. I do not know why?

    I will suggest you to use any HTML editor like front page or dreamweaver there are builtin form objects you can add and see html code of all controls

    Hey, I do have a nice html editor that inputs forms, buttons, boxes and all that, but I do not know how they function. I need to learn how to put them together. It's like I'm tyring to bake a cake but don't know how to choose the ingredients. :)
