First of all let me say thanks to all of you who run and maintain these forums as well as all who contribute to these forums. It is, I can already tell, a great service to those like me who don't know where to start!
I am truly a newbie to all of this web coding/programming. I used to do MS-Foxpro programming years ago and have fallen away when it went the way of "object-oriented" programming. Now I wish I'd kept up. Anyway, I'm trying to do something that I think is probably "elementary" yet I need some guidance. Right now I have to put up a simple HTML screen that captures basic information about a visitor in a SINGLE page site. This information needs to be saved, lets say to a text file residing on the web server, (right now it doesn't have to be a database although later it could be a database ?Foxpro? maybe) and then sends the visitor who filled out the form, a predetermined email message as an immediate followup to their filling out the screen form.
Right now I have some HTML code that was given to me. I've attached the sample code below at the bottom of this message. The best I can do is, using "common sense", -- logically modify sections, cutting and pasting logical modifications into this code. I'm not yet an HTML maven. I have this page displaying fine when I preview (of course with the proper embedded images present) but I don't know how to set it up so that when a visitor fills out the screen and clicks the button - all the followup steps described above in the previous paragraph are performed. (saves their info to file and sends them an preset email message)
I'm sorry if I'm stating this to simplistically, but this is the best I know how to describe what I need.
Again, thanks in advance for any help.
