Hey Guys,

I wanted to know how do I make my form look like it does when I see it. Instead I get the following when I recieve it:

CompanyType = Partnership
FirstName = blank1
MiddleName = blank2
LastName = blank3
Email = blank4

How do I make it look like it does on the site? I'm doing this through site builder(I know, I'm still just learning), any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Your form would have to submit to a script that would do the formating, standard scripts mailto scripts give the type of results you are allread getting.
You would need a customised script.

I think what I am looking for is an EMAIL FORM PROCESSOR. Any Ideas?

There are several free scripts around, but the one to choose depends on which server-side languages are available on your server.

A simple form processor using Perl is the NMS-formmail script:

[nms-cgi.sourceforge.net...]

Note that if you choose this script, you should rename the file to something else other than "formmail" before use, as there are several worms searching for a different script, also called formmail, which is subject to security vulnerabilities.
