Default CGI script forms/hosting questions

I need some help. I am hosted on a linux server, using the package found here: http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Hos...b?__frame=_top
I tried writing my own script forrms and just couldn't get them to work. I am using the pre-formated CGI script forms supplied by the hosting company. example here http://entrustrealtors.com/buyer.htm
I altered them a little but they still don't look how I want them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on programs or scripts they have used, to make effective and visually acceptable forms. If you have scripts that work, please tell me how to make them work on the server.
Thank you,
Kyle

Have you considered PHP?

Yes, it will run on a Linux server.

Here is a tutorial.

Thanks for the input. I did some searching and found some things out about php. With a little investigation I found a free program that actually works pretty well.
http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net/
If anyone knows any problems with this program, please let me know. It works fine but I wouldn't want to find out later it was sharing my customers email addresses with the programs creator.
Thanks,
kyle

Hello Kyle,
I don't know the program you mentioned. I do know that it's very easy to write your own PHP forms. There are PHP tutorials on almost everything you would want to use PHP for.

The advantage of building your own forms is not only do you learn the code but you can troubleshoot and customize on demand.

Don't know if I'm ready to tackle PHP programming. It may seem simple to you, but I just get lost looking at it. I just learned the basics of webdesign last month (self-taught). Which shows in my website, LOL. But, I am going to make some improvements to my website, just redo everything from scratch (keeping the links I've made of course).
Thanks for the help.
Kyle
