Hi all,

I need to create a web based questionnaire for work, however i've never done it before.

Currently rereading my Head First HTML book and looking up web form stuff however, I have no idea what else I need to do.

XHTML WEB FORM
CSS to style it

What else? I see that they talk about scripts but I know nothing about it. Looking at learning PHP would I be able to create a PHP script to deal with this? I really have no idea :D
 
You want this to go into an email address or into a database or something?

Java is also an option but you are on the right track.
 
well, its going to be a way for our employees to give us feedback anonymously. I think it would be best if the answers are emailed to myself.
 
do you know where the form is going to be hosted. this will determine the language you need to use to write the scripts that send the e-mails.

becuase the form is for internal business use you wont need to worry too much about cross browser support or accessiblity. most companies seem to enforce software used by employees so you will probably be dealing with IE6 or 7 maybe firefox

Personally i would stay away from java especially if its your first form.

by all means have a bash and post some source or a link and i can try to take a look let you know if there are any problems
 
First of all get the form code written out and styled how you want, you can get the email script working after you have the basics down.

The script will be dependent on the server the form is going to be hosted on, I am familiar with using ASP scripts to send mail but i'm sure there are lots of examples around for other languages too.

This link has a good example of using ASP FormMail:
