Hey everyone...

I am working on a form for our Lan Party website. I am trying to make a member sign up that people can use w/o having to have Outlook/Outlook Express, and it goes to my email...

Is this possible? Whoever gets this working.. I will send $5. (LAN PARTY is this Friday, need it working by then!)

If you want to use MSN Messenger to contact me, please use dannyromine_crx@hotmail.com, or pm me, or email me at the same address

Thanks in advance, danny.

Sorry, you're not going to be able to do it on geoshitties or probably any other free host.

Maybe rossman is still giving out free webspace. I know there are a few places around for under $10/month. You're going to need a host that supports CGI or PHP to make it work.

Alright, I figured it out, but they have to go into Internet Options and set their default mail client to what they got :(... and I have no idea how to have a button set that for them...

THanks notfred

That still relies on them having a mail client installed. I mean, most people do, but then, most people run outlook express.
