This process for creating forms is outdated and not secure, please try other methods. I would strongly suggest you try other methods. You can use this tutorial as a learning process but don't use it as a live form for your web pages.

Step1:
Create a new page Ctrl+N or file >New >Page. Then click insert>Form>Form as shown below.

After you Insert the form you should have a Reset and Submit Button come up on your window, like I have below. Press Enter Couple times so you can have space to place the information box and names, everything you add have to be inside the form field. You know that your in the form field when you see the dotted boarder.

Step2:
Depending on what information you want from your users, here is where u would type it. Name, Email, Website, Age, Comment etc.

Type, Name:   in the form field should look like how I have it below.

Now click on Insert> Form> Textbox

Now you should have something like I have below.

Double Click on the Textbox and the window below will come up.

Change the Name: TI  to Name: UserName

Initial Value: you can leave that blank

Width in Characters: This will allow you to set how many characters or letters your user name can have. Depending on what you want you can leave it at 20 or changed it to 45.

Password Field: NO

Click on the Style button and the window below will come up.

Click on Format> Font and change the font and font size to what you like. I used Verdana for the font and 8pt for the font size.

Step3:
To add more text fields click and Highlight the text field you just created and press Ctrl+C to copy and press Enter and Ctrl+V to paste it, you should have something like I have below.

Do not forget to change the Name to the different information you want from your users. Also double click on the textboxes and change that also. You should have something like I have below.

Step4:
Right click on the Submit Button >and click Form Properties as shown below.

The window below should come up, click on Send to Other_ and enter what I have below.

Now in the same window click on the Option button, and the window below should come up.

In the Action window we need to add a script to collect the information, click here to download the simplescript.php file.

Right click on the .php file and open it with Notepad. Your should see the window I have below.

All you need to change is these lines below.

$subject = 'Form Submission'; // Subject of email sent to you.
$emailadd = 'yourname@yoursite.com'; // Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent.
$url = 'your conformation page.html';

When you have edited the .php file make sure you save it as a .php file. Upload the simplescript.php file into your /cgi-bin folder.

Back to FrontPage in the window below add the setting I have in the boxes.

Now save your page and upload it to your site and you are finished.
