    Hello,

    When it comes to coding stuff, I am a complete newbie and for most matter, dont have a clue what to do. So this may be a very stupid question but please stick with me...

    I'm looking for a contact form to use on my website. I found "cmxform" but have no clue how to use it. I can change all the form content and stuff, just dont know how to connect the "submit" button to my email so I recieve it when someone submits.

    Any ideas or help welcomed. Thanks.

    Do you build your site using CMS like Joomla or WordPress?

    If you do, there must be some plugins with good documentation how to install, use, etc. Just google for it.

    For a contact form, you are looking for a server-side script, not javascript (client-side). If you're on a shared host, they will most likely have support for 'PHP' or 'ASP' (possibly both)... search on google for a script that uses whichever your host supports. I can show you how to do this in ASP if you want to learn how to, if not just search for a script, there should be heaps out there.

    If you are a beginner, I suggest trying a different approach: make your contact form with one of those remotely hosted services, like 123 Contact Form. All you have to do is make your web form using their online wizard and then copy&paste the final contact form script on your website.

    Try using JotForm. Creating a form with it is as simple as "abc".
