The layout and structure of my website is now complete -now all that is needed is the content, I am having trouble creating a contact form, I am a beginner to web design, but basically what I want is the following:
Name field = Text Box
Email Address field = Text Box
Comments field = Textarea
Submit Button = Button
And I would like a dialog box to come up if they havent entered their name, email address and comments saying what they need to enter, and when they click on the submit button, ll of the information gets sent to the email address I specify.
Thanks, hope you can help.

It wont let me put the whole code here so I put it on the web at
www.bains007.co.uk/help/FORM.html
you place the first code where you want the form, if you want to use php change it to
action="pagename.php" otherwise change the email to your email address
you can see how it will look here:

If you have PHP on your server your basic PHP page will need code like this
http://gregbains.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/help/FORM3.html
You can see this code in action if you go to
www.bains007.co.uk and click contact (at the bottom of the page), you will see the form with validation and then it gets sent to the PHP file which takes that information and sends it to my email address and the email of the person who sent it. Try it out!
If you use my site to try it out you can get a better idea of how it works
