Hey Gang,

This may sound like a really stupid question...=20
but here it goes...

I have a project to do..  and all I need it to do is make a
page where a user can fill out a form and once filled out
it will email that form to a specific predetermined email,
and then once they hit submit it would go to a page thanking
them for their submission.  I have figured out how to actually
make the form itself and get it to email.  But here is the problem:

It forwards as an attachment in a .att format.  (I want it to send
as an email using the format I used in the form..  only including their
answers to whatever questions, etc, and so on.)

It doesnt go to a page thanking them for their submission.


So my questions are:

Do I have to use CGI Scripts just for that?  Or can I just
create a form using HTML to just email the information=20
they have put in the form?  

If so,  how would one go about
doing that?  

And can I include form elements inside of table
cells?

Any information you can provide would be SOOO
appreciated.  The page isnt online yet.. . but will be soon. 
However, I am including the code used.

Thanks!!

Woody
