I am working on a webpage for a friend's business. He wants a form on his webpage that could be filled out (working on this part) as an "interview" to be sent via email to his inbox. So that way he can look at the info sent, and make an estimate.
Problem:
I know how to make a form that sends via email in basic HTML. Problem is, it requires a third party email app like outlook, AOL, or eudora to send it. I know that everyone does not use these programs, so I don't want to discourage any business that cannot send email with a third party app (hotmail, yahoo, and other users).
Semi-solution:
I found out how to use a CGI "mailto.exe" app. Problem is, I need to find a free webservice (for now) that will support uploading .exe files and support CGI (plus, once the site is ready to go, I need to switch it to its own domain, rather than www.freepagesforeveryonetosee.com/ghehe756/eheoeo89/ringle/~landscaping.......you get the idea). Any ideas? Or is there an easier way to do this?
