I want form submission on my website (sending form to my email).
Im looking for a free option that will work with my website (.Mac), I don't want the user to have to go to a different site, or be exposed to any adds.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You're out of luck. Form processing requires server-side scripting, and .mac does not allow any of this.

You might be able to hack together something with JavaScript which calls an external CGI script via XML-RPC (this would require a recent Netscape or Safari; I'm not sure IE/Mac would work), but that's the best you can hope for, and even then you may run into JavaScript's security features.

So there are no free services which let you submit to their site, and they will send the form contents to you?
