Using Forms

What scripting language are you using?

Do you know what webserver your web pages are running on?

If it is a Microsoft IIS server then I can help you.

If it's an apache server then I'm sure of the php dudes can help you.

I'm using HTML... I just use free web hosting, I don't have Apache or anything like that. Are you able to do this on HTML or do you need extra stuff? How do you use PHP? Do you need to pay for it?

If you are on free hosting you will need for the host to provide access to a scripting language.

You likely don't have access to it as free hosts rarely provide it.

One that I remember that does is the UK version of Tripod.

Just to elucidate on what Craven and I are getting at:

HTML is merely a standard for displaying elements on pages. Even form elements - but it doesn't actually do anything with them.

When you want to start transferring information between pages you need to deal with 'objects'. In IIS your 'Aubrey' example would require dealing with the request object and/or the session object - this requires the use of a scripting language. Which language you use is dependent on the webserver environment provided by your host.

OK, thanks, I am starting to understand it now.
