Okay... making a form is not reliant upon server side scripting... making the form do something often is.

On the upside, if all you are wanting is something for emails, then the chances are your host has some basic scripts/cgi/perl etc. that you can use, and that are fairly simple to implement.

One of hte more common ones is cgiemail.
It may be worth giving your hosts a quick call and asking what they have available, and what it can do.

Oh, and try not to copy those forms, as they are kind of "poor" examples of accessibility.

It would probably be worht making a few "practice forms" and getting the functionality working... then comming back and enquiring about improving the styling/accessibility of the form afterwards.
