Re: A Forms Question

Ken,

Something like a cgi mail script may not be all that hard. Check with your 
friend's web site host and see if by chance it already comes with something 
like Matt's FormMail. In that case, it's already there, you just have to 
include the correct fields to get it to go. The host might even have 
instructions somewhere :-)

And, if it's not there, see if you have a cgi-bin on that hosting space. It 
can take some doing, but there's lots of folks on this list that helped me 
tremendously when I installed my first cgi and I'm sure they'll be ready to 
help you too.

Good luck!
Tamara
