Hi, I am looking to integrate a comment section into my site. I have got the design right. I want to screen the message before i post it onto my site. My problem is that when i click on the submit button, instead of sending the content to the e-mail address that i have provided, outlook express opens up. What i would like to know is that, do i have to load my site on a server before i can experiment with forms? And can anyone tell me how to design a good form? Thanks

are you using a "Mailto:" for submission?? get a contact form php based or there is an easy php class called "PHPMailer", its very simple to use and it can mail through smtp, sendmail etc
To be able to email a forms contents you will need a server side script. You can find suitable free php scripts on hotscripts.com. There are also many cgi scripts available such as the one on formmail.com
