thanks orjan please do you know how i can include a drop down list menu or checkbox to it and make it return a value depending on the choice selected on the checkbox. i think i will have to use a if statement but dont know how to write it

Checkbox:

<input type="checkbox" name="delivery" />Home delivery

Drop down menu:

<select name="dairy">
<option value="cheese">Cheese</option>
<option value="eggs">Eggs</option>
<option value="milk">Milk</option>
</select>

Hmm.. no, that's not right.

<input type="checkbox" name="delivery" name="field" />Home delivery

works better.
