Don't worry about it, Jack. If he wants to hang around here he'll have to get used to getting knocked around a little. He gets no special privileges just because he's the boss'
son. :rofl:

Of course we'll cut him a little slack for being a Marine, but that's about it. :D

Chris, most html/web generators have some sort of form component in them. Because they almost always use JAVA Script, you can't usually just write simple HTML code and get any sort of results. You'll need to set it up within the development interface.

Let me know what you're using for an HTML editor and we can see what you'll need to do to make a form.

So... do I need to get something to be able to use forms? For something like submiting and email? I'm using homestead.coms online drag and drop generator.

If you're going to be doing more involved things like forms, you'll need to use one of the more complete web design packages. Most freebie Drag&Drop builders won't include things like forms.

Some popular design environments...

Adobe DreamWeaver
Microsoft Expression (Used to be Front Page)
Web Studio

I'll warn you, web development software isn't cheap and it isn't easy to learn. Plan on swinging by Borders or Barnes & Noble and picking up a good book or two on whatever software you settle on. Since most web hosting companies support Microsoft IIS Server Extensions and the software is comparatively cheap (cheap being a couple hundred vs. a couple thousand dollars) this might be the way to go.

Hopefully some others with web experience will offer some suggestions.
