hey guys im the "computer guy" at work, so i got the duty of making the website, however i dont code, i just put them together and play games on them. but i was able to use dreamweaver to make a decent site, however now they want a little field with a subscribe button next to it so we can build a mailing list. i just need some basic html here nothign fancy just like a said a blank field and a subscribe button, with someway to store the data in a text file, please help guys!
 
you can't use just html to store data. html is client side only.
you'll need a server side technology to store data. what are the server side scripting language options on your server?
 
If you don't know web development and nobody else in the office does.. maybe just create a simple page and have an email link at the bottom. The people who want to subscribe to your mailing list can just email you guys to add themselves. That way you avoid random people signing up with bad emails or spamming other people's accounts.

Agreed, might even want to take it a step further and just integrate a service like Constant Contact. They provide all the tools and support to create email communications, manage lists, execute mailings, etc., and you can embed it into your own site with no server-side coding.
 
I really hate email listings, but Constant Contact is a pretty good service, as long as the person running the listing doesn't abuse the system.
