Forms w/o Microsoft Server Extensions

[its_me_150]

Hi,

I'm very new to web designing. Actually, I don't do very much at all, i've been in charge of keeping a website up to date.

Anyways, I wanted to put a form on the website so that people could submit feedback anonymously. So I tried using the "form" tool in Microsoft Frontpage, but its not working because its says that my server doesnt have the server extensions.

Is there any other way for me to go about making this type of form??

Thanks

Firstly - don't use Frontpage. Frontpage is the worst possible tool to create websites with. If you have to use a visual tool, use Dreamweaver. If you can't afford it, use NVU (http://www.nvu.com/index.php). Of course, it would be 100 times better if you actually knew HTML; knowing the primary language a web page is written in would be a good skill to have if you've been given a job of web development.

Once you've created the actual form interface, you need a server-side script to process the form. There are thousands of free generic form-handling scripts on the web, but which type you use depends on the capabilities of your web server. If you know a server-side scripting language, you could make one yourself.
