Answer 1

Before we teach you how to make a complete form, let's start out with the basics of forms. Input fields are going to be the meat of your form's sandwich. The has a few attributes that you should be aware of.

type - Determines what kind of input field it will be. Possible choices are text, submit, and password.
name - Assigns a name to the given field so that you may reference it later.
size - Sets the horizontal width of the field. The unit of measurement is in blank spaces.
maxlength - Dictates the maximum number of characters that can be entered.

Answer 2

you need to know a server-side scripting language, such as php, asp or cfm.

if you are on a *nix server with php and sendmail installed, you can do something like
$sendto_address = $_POST['name_of_email_element'];
$subject = $_POSRT['subject_element'];
$body = $_POST['body'];
$flags = "-flags"
exec('sendmail', $flags, $subject, $sendto_address, $body);
?>

and so on. don't take this example literally, cause my sendmail command is broken, and this contains NO error checking (a bad idea)
