    Hi Xerok!

    You could try using http://www.emailmeform.com/

    They have a free form creation service allowing you up to 200 e-mails per month. If you anticipate more than that, then you could try the paid service. There are quite a few ways to customize your forms by adding fields, creating rules, matching colours to your design etc.

    Once your form is generated, you simply copy the code they provide and paste it onto your page. Make sure the selector (arrow) tool is active when you paste so that a placeholder is generated on the page. If the text tool is active, it will only paste the code as text.

    When someone fills in the form and submits it, the information entered will be sent via emailmeform.com to your chosen e-mail address. This prevents spam-bots from collecting your e-mail address through your site, so is well worth going this route. The Captcha text also cuts out spam from bots.

    You can see one i created in action at http://newbie2webdesigner.com/contact.htm It's a very simple one, because i don't need to collect a lot of data, but you could create quite complex ones if you wish.

    Let me know how you get on with the form generation... takes a bit of fiddling around, but the forms generated are quite stylish... better than many of the other form generation sites. The paid service gets rid of the 'powered by...' link-back thingy, which i will consider doing when it warrants it. At the moment i don't get 200 mails a month, and the link-back is not too annoying.

    I use these guys, but perhaps other members could list their favourite tools/services?

    neodist your customizable form works great, thanks, but just one problem, I get the slider, how do i get rid of the slider so that i get the exact same effect as in your example here?

    I've just changed and used your code given as per your example to my contact page so have not uploaded it yet, I noticed the slider when i looked at the outcome in the Preview window and your example shows without the slider (on the message box) Will it change once i upload it then?

    You can't preview that php mailer locally unless your PC has some server software installed and a PHP parser. Has to be uploaded to a host that supports PHP.
