Ok lets say I make this form with these information I want people to give me and stuff and then when they press submit I want the information to go to my email. So how do I do this with html? To send the information to my email than you.

there is only one way to do it with html. here it is: <FORM ACTION="mailto:youremail@something.com" METHOD="POST">
i wouldn't use this way, because people using certain browsers get a security alert which might make some visitors not submit the form.

Many free hosts provide a form mail script that does exaclty that. You could check that out. Also, there are a few sites that have remotely hosted scripts that do that. http://www.bravenet.com or you could check out hosted scripts on http://www.cgi.resourceindex.com .
If you are on a host that allows cgi, you could install your own form mail script, and use that.
I recommend using a form mail script over the action"mailto:whatever@whatever.com" because no email window pops up, and that is easier on the user. Also, it will be easier to keep that email address hidden from people.
