i have a question about the HTML Tags, checkboxes, radio buttons, drop down boxes, and forms. If anyone can help me understand these that would be helpful. I already know the `a` tag the `br` tag and the the `p` tag. but if someone culd explain the form tag, the checkboxes, radio buttons, and drop down boxes.

Take a look at www.w3schools.com.

Can you or someone else summarize W3schools Forms for me because I don't understand it along the lines of this stuff. and also once I have a page that is all coded out how do I get the page on the internet for free?

I cannot summerize what the W3schools Form but the second half of your question go to www.google.com and type in free web space. There will be several sites that come up offering a varioty of web space availibilities.

I play around with html a little on the side.
Form Tahs:
All form elements happen between &LT;form> and &LT;/form>.
Here's a simple edit box:
&LT;input type="edit" label="name" value="">&LT;/input>
Here'a a checkbox:
&LT;input type="checkbox" label="Stop bugging me!">&LT;/input>
Here's a radiobutton:
&LT;input type+radio" name="howbrowse" value="Browse results in a different window" checked>&LT;/input>
Leave out the "checked" if you have more than one radio button to select from.
A combo/drop down box is a little more involved, as you'll see below:
&LT;select type="combobox" name="ScreenReader" size=1>
&LT;option value="Hal>&LT;/option>
&LT;option value="Jaws">&LT;/option>
&LT;option value="Narrator>&LT;/option>
&LT;option value="Window Eyes>&LT;/option>
&LT;/select>

Ok. Heres another question:
When I write a combo box or a radio button or a checkbox and whith &LT;submit> to make a submit button how can I make it so you go to this page after salecting the button and how can I get the submited results emailed to me?

You can look at source code. I have source code available if you'd like it. Each web space is going to be different if it is going to allow the code someone gives. Try this.
&LT;input type="submit" value="submit this form">
Remember that if you do this, the redirect value needs to point to another page. I dont have my things in front of me, let us know if we can be any more help.
