How do you make a form where you can type in a person's email address to email something to them? I need one for my website. Like to email something on the page.

You mean like a www form->email ? Some remote CGI places may have them, your web server may allow it; there are many resources on how to do this. The most common is the WWW to Email Gateway (usually: mailto.pl)

If you look at the documentation for those, and know how to set up the form correctly, no sweat!

I'm using emailite. It works well for me.

Like a tell-a-friend link? Or email the actual page? What exactly do you mean?

Make a CGI script that mails the code of the page in HTML. Just copy the code from the actual webpage into the script.

Okay..strange need...what is it for? Just curious. It wouldn't be hard to make. But do you want it to send an html email, or just the source code?
