NVU Web Authoring - I need help with forms -

[Eddie]

I have just started using NVU Web Authoring System ( www.nvu.com ) and
am not htm literate (yet).

I really need some help setting up a form for a guest book on my
website.

I want the data entered into the guestbook to post to either a text
file, html file or any other way I could get the data.

Seting up the form and setting up form fields does not seem that
complicated I just can't get the data to submit to a file.

Also are there any good help or tutorial webites out there that anyone
knows about?

Thanks & Help Plz

HTML by itself can't do that, it's a markup language. You'll need
a scripting language on top of that... from personal experience, I
would recommend PHP but there are loads of other options (perl,
python, asp, ...).

But don't worry: the HTML and the PHP involved are not very hard
to learn, any beginner's PHP tutorial on the web will most likely
show some simple form examples that should get you started in no
time.

Some googling turned up this one, which looks kind of alright for
starting up:
