Making Forms Work ?

[pwillis]

Hello all. I'm a complete newbie to all this and have what I hope is a simple problem to be addressed.

I would like to create a user account on my xtml based website and enable my users to sign up. Once I create a form with all the specifics I'd like covered, how do I actually make it work and communicate with the server? I'm under the impression that it has something to do with CSV but am clueless as what that means. Similarly, I'd like to implement the same of course with my login screen.

How do I go about all this?

Thanks in advance!

form is plain html.. you can use dreamweaver to help you on this.
basically, set the form to POST to where.... this will be the page that process the form.

and the processing page will grab the input field and process accordingly.

Thanks Charles,

Is the form processed with a particular file on my bluehost server in the public_html folder?
