Need recommendation for online application form

Hello,

I want to add an online application form to my website.

My current hosting company doesn't support CGI, but has informed me that I
can copy and paste code onto one of their pages, with the results of the
completed form being sent to another site or e-mail address.

My form will involve text fields and radio buttons only.....nothing fancy at
all. No shopping cart will be involved; just "yes" and "no" answers and
fill-in-the-blank questions.

I prefer a form that makes no reference to the company supplying the form;
if I have to pay for such a ad-free form, then so be it.

Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Martin

Is this form going to be putting the details into a database or sending them
to you?.

If your host supports ASP, then I can quite easily put one together for you
(and host it if it doesn't support it)

Hi Steve,

The details will be e-mailed to me, and my hosting company doesn't, I
believe, support ASP.

Martin

Martin,
If your unsure, you may want to check by placing the following into
a .asp file and running it on your server.

'// BEGIN
<%
Response.Write "<br><br><center><b>ASP is supported</b></center>"
%>
'// END

If you'd rather skip it, I'd be more than happy to write and host the form
for you?.

Alternatively, you can find .cgi, .php etc etc, forms at such places as;

www.developerfusion.com
www.freecode.com

Along with many others.....

Good morning Steve,

Should I wish you to host my form, which I've already created using HTML,
what would the cost be per month and per annum in Canadian dollars?

For a real-time conversion amongst currencies, please visit

I run a free hosting service so, the cost would be..... absolutely nothing
;o)

If you decide to signup, e-mail me with your username and I'll modify the
permitted file types to allow for your form.

Hi Steve,

I don't want to move my web pages to another hosting company; rather, I wish
to have two online applications, one for Americans and the other for
Canadians,
hosted where CGI is enabled. My current hosting company, Webspawner.com,
plans to offer it sometime in the future, but I prefer not to wait.

Considering that you don't charge to host, and that hosting must cost you
something, how do you recoup the expenses involved? Will my e-mail address
be shared with other parties; will I receive commercial e-mail from you,
etc?

I don't wish to offend by seeming cynical; however, nothing in life is free,
so there must be a "catch" somewhere. Please elaborate.

TIA!

Regards,

Martin

I never ever share information with anyone (and detest people that do!), nor
do I send e-mail's (except in the case of iHost where an e-mail is sent
after registration, to confirm account details). Costs for iHost are covered
by myself and myself only.

I have updated both the Terms of Service agreement, and the Privacy Policy
to reflect the answer above.

Steve,

That being the case, I'll e-mail the details to you privately later today.
Thank you!

There's an online calculator that I can't create, but require. It consists
of original principal amount (to be typed in field) times rate of interest
(chosen from drop-down menu) times number of years (by selecting month, day
and year from drop-down menu) equals new principal amount as of date that
data were input. There's a URL that leads to a perfect example of what I'm
seeking, which I could e-mail to you.

Can you create such an online calculator and is there a fee or donation
involved?

Regards from across the Atlantic.

Martin,
Thought you'd like to know, I have a sample form ready for you (I've
not written the e-mailing function into it yet as I'd like to be sure that
whats in it so far, is actually what your wanting).

The sample form can be found at;
