Hi. I want people to enter specific information on my website - most
likely in a form. (i.e. their name, address, etc). I then want that
information to be emailed to me. Is there a way to do this using just
html code?
I generally use Frontpage to create web pages. But here is what the
help said, "Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions must be installed on
the server on which your web site is located." Unforutnately, I don't
have the FrontPage Server Extensions available. Therefore, please let
me know if there is some kind of html code that I can copy/paste.
thanks in advance

No. You need a script or program on the server - quite often a CGI, but
PHP, JSP, and other server-side technologies are popular too - to handle
the form submission and email you the results.
Avoid FrontPage like you would a wet dog. It stinks to high heaven, and
sooner or later it'll make a mess of everything around it.

Do you have such a freeware script that a dummy like me can even
understand/modify?
Any help is much appreciated.

First a tip - one of the most critical steps to learning new things is
believing that you can learn them.
That said - have a look at <http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/>.

Please learn to quote or rephrase the relevant part of the message you
commenting on. Please learn to write your name where it belongs.
Please do not imagine that if you are really a novice computer user,
you could modify (still less understand) scripts.
If you are a novice computer user, have some good time with the Web, learning
how it works. Maybe later create a simple web page of your own.
If you are a novice computer user, as you say you are, creating interactive
web pages is far too challenging. In a year or two, perhaps, you will create
them - but then you will _first_ find out whether your ISP lets you run any
scripts on the server, and a fairly probable answer is "no, except for a few
scripts made available by the ISP - you can use them as such when you have
read the instructions".
