what are you trying to do? do you want to save the
results to an ms access database? you don't need
javascript to make a form work... i really only know how
to do the database part of it... if this is what you want
please post again and i will try to walk you through it

Matt,

I am needing desperately to create a submit form for a
website that I built, that would look very similar to this
one here (http://www.perfectaddition.com/getaquote.html).
The form needs to be implemented into my websites page
design that can be found at www.bestdamnconstruction.com
I'm not sure how forms function and I don't know much
about creating and working with databases, but I am highly
capable of learning. If its possible I would like the
form to send its results to an email address (or send
alerts to it, when the form is submitted) But what ever is
easiest, as long as the owner of the company can get the
feedback from the form.

yes i have, and i couldn't find out how to modify it so
that the fields were like the sample website i posted the
url to earlier. i also didn't know how it would function
when you clicked the submit button, once the page was
published. where would the data go, and what would i need
to do to get to it?

The page you are looking at does not use the FP forms handler

When you use the forms wizard it asks you for the field names you want and where to send the data
You can send the data to your email address and/or save them to a file in the FP web

Or try the Feedback Form Template, very close to what you want (which already saves the results to a .txt file in your web -
_private/feedback.txt) and right click the form (Form Properties - Options - Email to enter your email address)

You can then add or remove fields or rename field names
As for the layout, you will have to arrange items in the form the way you want

You can't expect to do it w/o spending sometime in the FP Help files to understand forms, or running the FP Tutorial
