Hey everybody,

I have been recently looking for a form that sends the content a user fills out to my e-mail address. I'm currently using Jotform (http://www.jotform.com), but I'm having problems when I place their code on my site (the boxes are too close together).

If somebody could help me out with this I would appreciate it!

Thanks,

Well, if you want to try doing this by yourself, please know first of all that you're going to need more than just HTML for it to work. Your HTML form code is just what the user interfaces with--you need scripting such as PHP running on your server to actually process the form data.

It's not feasible to try and teach you all of this here, beacause from your question i can tell you probably aren't very experienced at basic HTML as yet, so you can't move on to a scripting language like PHP until you fix that problem. I can only give advice.

Use google to find HTML tutorials, and learn~! Google 'CSS' as well and learn that; THEN you can move on to PHP perhaps.
Jut in case I assumed wrongly about your level of experience, im sorry. I'm just going by the question you asked~ good luck and have fun learning!

Well I hopr you got your form together...good luck

Actually, you could use jotform, and then edit the raw html to what you want it to be. Let jotform take care of the side scripting... ^^

What's jotform? It sounds like one of those form services. Well, some of them are good. That could work too.

mybe its same kind of script

Its better to host your own code on your site. Third party scripts have their side effects and security leaks.

either learn PHP and HTML and make your own form ( recommended )
or just edit the HTML code that comes with Jotform .... its not that complicated....
