Something peculiar about this page: ALL of these objects are forms! Therefore, you must decide what you want. When you do that, all you have to do next is View this Source Code and copy that code. Paste it on your web page, and slightly modify the code to make it send the user to the correct place. It's as simple as that.

Use the top form to email me if you have problems! To modify, look for words inside quotes. They are URLs, MESSAGEs, VALUEs and NAMEs. Do not change TYPEs, or words to the left of = signs. You may add HTML code judiciously, but study these samples carefully. It would also help for you to know that quotes-within-quotes are actually single quotes ( ' ). It is very hard to find this type of error, so delay these modifications until you are very comfortable with the code.

CAUTION: If you take the JumpBox code, be sure to take the small JavaScript function at the top of the Source Code in the Head section.

NOTE: The Email Form has code that uses GeoCities CGI script. It is my favorite kind, because the user can send an email without having his Browser set up for mail. I will get the other code for you and paste it here, for those who do not have access to CGI scripts. Be warned, however, that users who don't have their Browsers set for email will error out and not be able to write to you. To modify this code for yourself, just change the word "mariapiatr" to the name you put for your GeoCities email box. (If you haven't done that yet, why not do it now in the Profile section?)

Here is a wild form I picked up somewhere, which illustrates how far you can go with forms. The Send button sends the mail to me, the Preview Buttons send you off to La-La-Land .. who knows where, LOL. It isn't my code.
