Information feedback

Aside from a general feedback form, what other method or tool can I use to
get feedback from a posted webpage? I'm looking for a full page, somewhat
formatted to feedback to me as oppoed to raw data in an excel or text format.
Any ideas?

User would fill in a form, with the results send to your email address, there really aren't that
many options, you either sent it to email, a database or text file stored within the web site.

Thanks for your reply! I'm looking for a way to put out forms that someone
can fill out and have the whole form come back to me. I can do .pdf but then
they have to print it out and snail mail it back in. There has got to be a
better way.

If you are looking for an HTML email, then you would need to look into use custom written
server-side script to process the form.

If that's an option then how do I get that done?

first step is to see what server side scripting languages are available to
you on that server.

The second step is to learn the language supported and
program the solution you desire. Up for the challenge?

how about a normal email link?

I'm not sure I understand your question fully - Forms are a general and
accepted and standard way of collecting data or providing feedback on the
web. In Frontpage, you can can send that data to an email address, text
file or database, or have a thirdparty cgi script process the data in some
way.

Are you asking how you can store the data (rather than just have the info
emailed to you)?

You could try the database connection wizard in Frontpage - (requires ASP
and MS Access on a Windows server).

www.frontpagewiz.com is a good tutorial and starting point.

....the whole form or the data does come back to you - to your email address.
You'll get the *data* not the *form*. Unless you mean a form the user
prints out, fills in and faxes or snail-mails back to you?

Electronically, it won't work like that.

Wow, sincerely appreciate the feedback from all. I'm beginning to see that
what the PR people want may not exist. We presently use 'feedback' forms
that get stored in a database on the server and get emailed to the 'PR'
people. We also use .pdfs that inquiring minds can print out, fill out and
mail back to use. We're just wondering what to do with 'forms' that require
a personal signature, how those could be sent back to us. I'll check out the
'wiz' to get more ideas.
Again, thank you all.
