i put a help form on my site and i dont know what code to put to enable the users to submit it. someone please help!!

To submit form values you need a server-side script e.g php, asp, cfm

okay, so what serverside script?

http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp

you can learn how to do it there or mail me the html code for your form and i'll write a php script with comments that should help you. I will not be under any obligation to provide support for it in the future but u are free to extend the functionality of the script.

if u opt to mail me, kindly mail me the html codes starting from <form> and ending at </form>

On a second thought you can post the html here and we'll do everything here.

Dual, we are not getting thing starit here, if he need just the code for a button or a form handler shit of php, However the case may be, here is a code for submitting,

<input type="submit" value="Submit"> in the form tag <form></form> you can specify an action that links to a php coding to handle your form like <form method="POST" name="contactform" action="contact-form-handler.php></form>

Thanks

@Dual Core

Typical businessman laying disclaimers before hand

Anyway 212blaze post the code here so that it can also help someone else with similar a issue.

in the code there is no form tag. see the screenshot.

and why isn't there one? do you by chance use FF's CSE html validator plugin? If not, you should. Also, set your xhtml doc type to transitional at the least.

Una wan kill me 4 this place. im still learning. i know nothing yet. all ive done now is thanks to dreamweavers design view. so plese more normal english and less programmers english. thank you

What I am about to say is about as plain as English as you will hear: Dump design view and adopt code view 

Even plainer english:
If you are like me and used to hang around grown ups who played ping pong, when you were a kid, after they granted you the "right" to knock with them a few times, you probably got the following statement, "ol girl/boy, comot here make you no spoil ma hand". Given this example, you are the Dreamweaver and the way you play is what will "spoil your hand".

Get it?

@Yawa, i am glad to hear such a great comment from you!!!

See, i dislike the idea of the use of software liike dreamwaver to author site, it gives the earlyy learners, little or no knowldge of the underlying codes, Imagine a form without form tag, it is out of convention,

Imagine one dude whoo designs in my area, doesn't even know basic html tags,

Men like she said, dump site view and look indept into coding, i code site myself and they look brilliant, i will be glad to help you with books and basic help, first with html, css, javascrip, few php i know and wrap it up with ajax technique,

What do you expect at this age of: ready to eat, ready to drink, instant coffee, instant form generator, quick template maker?

Thank you everyone. You guys are being helpful. i use the code view but only when i know the code to use to acheive what i want. i am using a link that dual core gave me to learn html. is writing a forum code difficult so i can consider removing that from the contact page. Ill put a screen shot of what the site looks like currently

Forum code or form code, if its the latter, it depends on how u want the functionality to be as in high end, or just recieve it on ur email or hit a database or send a automail to the user,

Specify the stuffs and we could help you, i could help with the layout and validation on the server side!!!

Please i'd like to receive the submissions in my email. if you could please look at the existing screenshot and brush up the code for me, ill appreciate it. the project should have been completed a while ago but this thing is delaying it

Check out the php mail() function. Basically, you check to see if your required fields meet your specifications (not empty, email formatted properly etc). If they do, you call your mail function (I would also surround my mail() function with an "if" statement, so that if mailing fails, I output an error message, but that's just (the paranoid) me). If not, you output the fields with errors.

Check out PHPmailer it will hep you do that @ http://phpmailer.worxware.com/
