I didn't actually understand your requested, and I might not be alone. You want to incorporate a form into your website, but you're not looking for anything web-based? Do you mean you want a form that users would print and then mail somewhere?

I recommend against that if at all possible. Asking people to print and mail a form and then wait for the response is a major barrier to Web conversion. An HTML forum would be preferable.

Let me rephrase that.... I want to implement a 3 page form, but do not want to use a form company that provides the code and charges a monthly subscription fee for having them maintain database..... most of the companies I am finding are subscription models when I look around and is why I mention this..... For example I bought a plug and play javascript tab menu, pasted in the html, and it works great.... wondering if there are any similar solutions in regards to forms.... I currently have some simple forms already...but again, want to go have multiple page ability......I see everyone else that has this type of form using javascript code for the forms and wondering what experience anyone has with some of the companies that offer such products.... I have found this one: http://willmaster.com/master/formV4/ and wondering what else is out there.....

Oh, I see, I see. Since I program forms for a living, I always roll my own whenever I need one for myself. Why? Because I get total control over the result. I think there is probably something like what you want out there, but I never have the need to look for it myself.

Hopefully the clarification will at least help attract the answer from someone else.

I guess an important question for you would be how much data do you plan on collecting with a form? Microsoft is phasing it out, but Frontpage could make a form for you, and have it emailed to you.

If your server is set up for php, you can find simple "contact" forms that are basically one page. Place them on your site, add your email address in the code where they tell ya, and you have a contact coming into your inbox.

If you have a need for more data storage then I would say php would be something for you to ivestigate. It will interact well with a mysql data base for storage and retrieval and is all web based and available through your browser.

And of course, there's always <form action="mailto:user@example.com">, though that does have it's drawbacks, as previously discussed in this very forum.
