I need to add a simple form to a contact us page. What is the easiest way to do this?
I have a contact us page, with a form that will ask for a potential customers name, email address, business name, phone number, and a text area field for comments. I need to have this form submit to an email address. A Thank You page would be good, if possible. Nothing fancy, something very simple. What is the fastest and easiest way to create such a form? I'm on a shared server that does support simple scripts, but something easy. Thanks.

Use a server-side script language if your web site allows it. Otherwise, you will have to use a client-side dependent "mailto:" action to get the form info sent to you.
Your current hosting package MUST allow SMTP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_... ) to work. Otherwise, no email can be sent.
Use any of the below sites to make the workable form you need:

Go to http://www.web2coders.com/ and download "form to email". It is a Php script.
You can try it before you download.
Since you already have the form, just adapt the script to your form.
