I am trying to get a form to e-mail me the contents, how is this done with dreamweaver?

you need to write a form processing script (in PHP, or in Perl, or another scripting language). for example, in PHP there is a special function, that sends a mail... it doesn't depends on Dreamweaver

ok, i understand that but i do not know what to do with the script someone told me that i have to put somethinc in the cgi/bin folder on my server,

this is the problem,

what script?

and how to do it!

if you just want it to email to you All you have to do is this:

Use this as the form tag:

<form action="mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com?subject=Fo rm Name" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

Form Content...

<input type=submit>

or you may use a php mail function like this: mail($addres,$subjet,$message,$headers)

when we put this code in, would the email be sent as outlok express or normal submission as it has mail to

If you put your email inside the form action tag, you'll get lots of spam. I suggest you check out http://www.hotscripts.com for a "formmail script" coded in PHP or go to http://www.leveltendesign.com/L10Apps/Fm/ to get LevelTen Formmail script. Instrtuctions on how to install it are included.
