If I am understanding this question correct, you would like the users input emailed to you.

If this is the case, this should be done using server side code.

What language are you developing in? ASP? PHP?

Let me know and I'll post the answer for you.

i have no clue what language, i haven't made the page yet, but yes i want their response mail to me. Any language will work, but it need it to send 2 boxes at once, like one box for name, and another for e-mail

Okay try this:

assuming your fields are named FIELD1 and FIELD2:

We'll be using ASP/VBScript to accomplish this. Based upon this example, you should be able to understand how ASP retrieves form variables.

Remember, this code should be run on the action page that your form submits to. Also make sure you are using POST in your form method. You don't HAVE to, but if you don't you'll need to get the variables a bit different by using Request.QueryString("myfieldname").

Hope this is of help...
