Need a contact form

Hello,

I need a contact form on my website, that will send to my email address what the visitor enter in the form fields. The problem is that I can't run any php scripts.. is there a way to use some html form?

Assuming you have an RPG related site (and what is it?), the proper place for this query would be the Publishing forum. Regarding the question itself: you stated you can't run PHP, but are you able to run CGI (or something else)?

This post on another site gives details on creating a feedback form via HTML alone, but note the warning regarding doing so and the limitations of such. It really would be better for both you and your visitors if you could run the form another way. You can also try Googling for free form services that run the forms on your site from their servers to get around the PHP issue.

Anyways, hope that helps!

Thank you for your suggestions! I found a site that offers remotely hosted contact forms, www.emailmeform.com . Basically, I paste the html code in my website, and it calls the php script on their server who sends the email.
