Default Forwarding drop down info on website

I have a website, where the user selects information on drop down fields.

What i'd like to do is send the options they've selected, along with other contact details to myself.

I have a contacts page all sorted, the drop downs all sorted, just wanna link the two.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you need some sort of formmail script. What weberserver are you using and do you have stuff like php / cgi etc?

I can switch between Linux & Windows server, so essentially have access to both PHP and ASP, although i have no experience of either.

There are lots of ways to do it. A pre-written script and a detailed explanation can be found here: BrainJar.com: ASP FormMail
