I am going to put a HTML page on the web and I want the viewers to have a comment box so they can post their comments, can anyone help me?

What you want is a guestbook.
http://www.dreambook.com provides one free guestbook; there are others out there.

Its a lot more complicated than it sounds. It requires not only HTML to set up the box, but PHP, Perl, or server-side JavaScript to allow the comments to be posted. See, in order for the comments to appear on the page, the computer sends the information to your server's CGI-Bin, which then (with a Perl script or the like) processes it and sends it back to displayed on the webpage. I'm not sure how it exactly works with PHP or JavaScript, but it is something similar. Frankly, I have been working on JavaScript and PHP but haven't yet figured out how to do this. You may have to learn PHP, or maybe you can find a Perl script online you can to process from the CGI-Bin (that is, if your server has CGI).

What you want is a form - search for 'html form' and you'll get plenty of stuff to read.
On the backend, you'll need something (Java, Perl, PHP, etc) that receives the input and saves it to a DB or a file. Then you'd have that same piece of code read from the file to show the last comments.
Hope this helps...

what variety of a board? Do you desire to have type submitted to you? in a flat document for all to work out? or a db backed blog/BB/remark type? they are all dealt with in any different case and desire distinctive code to enable/use.
