Answer 1

Obviously you need to know a lot of things.

Here are some basics for you:

First you need a hosting service where you can host your website. You just made a webpage, now you need to host these pages so that every one can see it. Your website would be given a name and that is what users will type in their browser to reach to your site.There are lots of companies that provide hosting services - GoDaddy for example.

Secondly it depends on how you want to retain infromation entered. If you want to be able to show what users entered to the users coming back, then you would need to store it in a database. You need a programming language (PHP or Java or ASP) to read what users are sending and save it to a database. You need to make a webapplication for it.

If the information users entering are very simple there are many free services (forum generators, yahoo groups, orkut etc) where you can create a simple survey. The service would also host your webpages and has an ability to communicate to users via email letting them know that you want them to complete a survey / questionnarie kind of thing.

Answer 2

Your best bet is to use a form built so that your hosting computer forwards the form to your email address. Two alternatives come to mind (both free).

One is www.jotform.com (build the form, interactively, then either use the form you built there, or copy their html to your website and use it on your own page, restyled as you like, and forward the mail to their server which in turn forwards the email back to your email address).

The other is formmail.php (you'd put form action="formmail.php"
and install "formmail.php" on your website, tailored to your needs, and containing your email address, and it would forward to your email address). Actually, it's recommended you rename "formmail" to something else (like "herbert.php" so you'd have form action="herbert.php" and you'd have the file "herbert.php" installed on your website...) At any rate, you can fetch a copy of formmail.php at http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/ or google it elsewhere (there's plenty documentation out and about, too).
