Hey guys,
Wondering if someone could help me - I've just found out that our web hosting plan at work doesn't actually support CGI or PHP.
Can anyone tell me a way to set a form to send results to an email and point to a "thank you" page, using only HTML? The form is pretty simple - just textboxes and 1 drop-down box.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Thats a good idea - but I really need it to just send the form off without making people send it via their email.

Without CGI or PHP ? Might be pushing shit up hill - change the hosting plan, or is it HTML only ?

Its HTML only.
The bastards at *a particular hosting company* talked my boss into changing to a more expensive plan that didn't support CGI - which sadly our form utilised. We had our forms directed to a handler on the server; now there is no handler available to use and our forms have stopped working.
Would it be possible to host a form handler somewhere else?
If so, where could I get a form handler that works? (I know zero CGI).

Check this out for a starter:

That page just reminded me, ASP is also a no-go.

"Free CGI scripts exist for handling forms; some are even remotely hosted for authors whose providers refuse to allow CGI scripts to be run locally."

.html won't do it alone :/
What sort of hosting plan doesn't have .php... Pfft

If this thread hadnt had been started by ThaFleastyler I would not believe such a thing was possible.
Imagine if they tried that these days? They'd be tarred and feathered.
