Is there any way to save information that has been keyed in on a Web page form and send it to an email address with the information included....When I save the form and send to an email it just has the original web page and not the information that was keyed in??? Any help would be much appreciated....Thanks in advance

well i don't know about internetExplore but Opera, netscape, mozila and firefox, and all Mac web browsers have AutoFeild and Password Wizard.
AutoFeild saves the information you entered into a form.
Password Wizard is a renemmber password mannager.

yeh pretty easy actually
you would need an email script, PHP is quite good.
Then give all your fields names e.g
value="name"
in the PHP script you would have a load of GETS that would retrieve the posted information, compile them into a nice order then ship them off to your email address.
Note that you need the script hosted on a server with an email server....

Make sure that when you set the form up that you put enctype="text/plain". Not sure if I wrote that correctly, but you can look up enctypes in google or yahoo.
oh, try this website: http://draac.com. They have wonderful tutorials for forms.
