Are there any good web form building programs that do not utilize java files on the final product? I'm looking to create a form that can be e-mailed back to me, and I prefer a WYSIWYG interface -- one that allows me to preview the web form and then copy and paste the HTML code into Dreamweaver.

I really like CoffeeCup Web Form Builder, however, the forms cannot be viewed by users with java disabled (I found this out from a family member I had check one of my sites from her end, and she runs Windows Vista -- I have XP and my java is enabled, and I have no problem viewing the web forms).

I know that years ago I created web forms from scratch using formmail, but I haven't made one from scratch in years. I will need to make several over the next few months, and I want to make it easier and quicker.

My hosting server is Linux based, and not Windows based, and the web form I created with CoffeeCup was a PHP form (and it worked flawlessly, until I found out it didn't run on that one Vista machine).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kim

You mean javascript, not java.

Anyway, there isn't any way possible to have a WYSIWYG without the use of a scripting language like javascript/java/flash.

one that allows me to preview the web form and then copy and paste the HTML code into Dreamweaver.

Why not just use Dreamweaver? It has the ability to create forms visually by helping you add the elements, inserting the form tags and so on. All you'd need to do is link the form action to the script, and you're done.

You may want to check this (http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net) out. It's also available for install on your site through Fantastico if you got cPanel on your hosting account.
