need more info

To email anything you have to use server side software. That is, this is not an HTML, CSS, or Javascript question. So, to answer your question is impossible without knowing what your server offers. For example, does it support frontpage extensions? What server side languages does it support? (ASP, Cold Fusion, PHP, etc).

On the side:
"Counter-strike Clan webpage" - I played TFC for like 5 years and just downloaded the source for CS but have yet to play it.

You don't need any scripting for this, serverside or clientside.
All you really need is an HTML form:
Code:
<form action="mailto:your-e-mail@here.com" method="POST">
Name: <input type="Name"><br>
Reason you want to join:<br>
<textarea></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
Allthough this will bring up the mail-client on the visitor's machine with all the information in the form already entered into the mail along with your email in the to: field. This is the simplest way of sending info but it can't be used on most public computers since it requires that you have an e-mail account set up on that computer.
I recommend that you look up what type of server-side support your host provides and find a validator script. Those will also send the mail without the need to have a mail client.
