Hello everyone -

I am hoping this is the right spot for this question. I am looking to create about 4 forms for a clients website. One will be a simple email form, one will be a job application form (with the possibility of attaching a file), one will be a quick info form for a franchise possibility, and another for a longer franchise questionnaire.

I was wondering if anyone had any good advice for where I could pick up something that would script these forms so they get emailed to the appropriate people in the organization. I was hoping there was something out there that either allowed me to edit a form with css or some sort of script I could attach to a form I have already created.

If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you-
Jayson

Two answers for your two-part question:

1) You can use CSS to style a form, just as you can for any other element.

2) There are plenty of free PHP/ASP scripts that can handle email forms. HotScripts (http://www.hotscripts.com) seems to be the hip place kids go to these days. If you don't have PHP or ASP (or some other server-side programming language) on your server, you should be able to google for a third-party option.

Googling for css'ed forms will return a couple good results.

Good luck finding what you want.

I am in the same boat as you Jayson, I don't know PHP or any server side coding language, so I can't do my own forms :(. i hate it..

Couchart :) You know that most of the design studios got designers and coders. Coders do the 1+1=2+3=5 stuff and designers do the design.
A guy who lives next to me is an expert in coding Perl, php etc. and one day he tryed to teach me some of that... i was feeling like a ehmm..noob?! Programming languages are different than css. I just saw that.

Oh well, there goes my career of the last 20 years :(

Back on topic, Jayson, take a look at http://wufoo.com (no affiliation). I think it does what you need. They made quite the buzz with the "web 2.0" crowd when they launched.
