| Hey, i have a quick question. Can you make an online form in frontpage, and then let the users who visit the website fill it out, and then have the form sent to a specified email or server? |

Java != JavaScript.
Frontpage == crap.
I don't know the exact specifications myself, but I think there's a form object and you can submit the filled out form with JavaScript to your server-side processing. Someone else (Weregoose?, elfprince?) can help with the specifics. but Frontpage code gives them nightmares. |

<form action="submit.php" ...
Or whatever.
Then the script can construct an e-mail to send based on the information recieved through HTTP POST or GET data containing the form.
The script itself would differ immensly per application, scripting language, and server setup (e-mail services in particular).
To sent the form to another server, just use it's URL instead of a local reference in the action parameter.
<form action="http://anotherserver.com/submit.php" ...

I suggest you read the w3cschools tutorial, because its fairly basic html, but people always manage to murder it....please never let me see <form method="post" action="mailto:email@email.com">
use something like this:
<form method="post" action="mailerscript.php">
and mailerscript.php would look like this:
<?php
echo(mail("email@email.com","test subject","test message"))
?>
