[Javascript] form mail question - newbie level

[John Neil]

Thanks for the responses. I did have a look at the suggestions of saving 
the input as text on the server and am going to look at the ASPMail from 
ServerObjects but, as several suggested, I think that I will just invest 
some of the business money on an upgraded account (When I purchased the 
basic account they told me that it had cgi-support, naughty saleswoman!).

I will try a few suggestions anyway, and, if any work, pass on the solution.

Thanks again.
