Forms for websites.
Hello, Could somebody please explain how forms work? I read through a "mailto" articles and tutorials yet they dont show how where or how to add, I've also seen only using html? will that work or do I need javascript? I just don't get how to send the information they put into the form, and get it sent to me on my email? thank you.

There are free services that will email you the submissions . Google brought me to https://web3forms.com/ but I know there are many more
Web3Forms — Easy Contact Form to Email Service

Receive html contact form submissions directly in your email inbox using our contact form api service without any server or backend code. Its free!
If you want to build it yourself, you typically need a server side language like PHP. You create a form in HTML and the action is a PHP script that receives the form information through a POST request.
Thank you, both. I think I’ll do the plug and play one, thank you for suggesting php too.
