Question How do I make a form on my webpage?

Hi all,

My cousin wants a page on his website (californiastockhorses.com) that is a newsletter sign up page. I know how to put in the "blank" spots for people to fill in the form. I also know where I can get the submit button in GoLive. But, I can't figure out how to make it so that when someone clicks on the submit button, it sends it to my cousin and goes to a page that says something like "thank you for filling out the form." Any tips and advice on how I can do it?

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Qadoshyah

What Server Side language do you use? ASP/PHP?

It require more than just a submit button!
You will need a database (for sure!), Verification page and a form for you to fill in before submitting them to the database!

You will also need to know if you are using Linux or Windows hosting. If you are using Linux then it will not support asp and asp.net. However, if its a windows based hosting, it will support asp and asp.net and may also support php.

Where do you submit a form then? Of course to your database! LOL

Unless he wanted to sent the form directly to the customer email and does not want to keep track of the sent item, then in that case, no database will be involved!
But it will be recommended to have a database to keep track your sent item tho..

That's not true. Host with Linux boxes can support .NET
