    First of all, you'll most propably need to use a programming language like PHP to create a script for processing the form. I am not sure if you need help for processing the form or for creating the form itself. You can learn how to create one by using the link provided by Darkhodge.

    Not really. The most you can do using plain HTML is instruct the form to send all data/information to your email address. It will open an email client like Outlook Express on the clients PC using which he/she can send you the content of the form they just filled up to your email address. Thats it. If you dont want to use this as an option, you can get a custom script written by someone. Shouldnt cost you much for something basic liket his :) What exactly is it that you are trying to process?

    Alright, thats something very simple. You have two options MF, either you can pay someone to write a custom script for you. It will take no more then 10 mins for someone to come up with a simple script for this form but if you want something like data verification etc, it can take a bit longer. The other option is for you to search for a premade script which you can use for this purpose. Try searching for php form script or php form submit script.
