form fields

I want my users to log in to the app and be able to submit information to the other users of the app with form fields. can anyone suggest how to accomplish the form fields? I am thinking html5 plugin? is this correct thinking? if it is correct thinking, I am further thinking use dreamweaver to create to form and upload to the server? if this is not correct please explain what you guys would do and how to accomplish it? once the data is typed in the form fields how then would I publish it to other users of the app suggestions please

@gbakakos quick question about jotform...after the user fills out the form and clicks submit, is the user redirected to a url no matter what? It gives options for thank you screen, a url...how to make the user stay in the app? Or better yet redirect to certain page?

When I used it was an HTML form and the user stayed in the app. The response was emailed to a location of my choice. I used it as a comment form and information gatherer. So the email worked well as a way to gather that. Just used a custom HTML screen in BT. You have two choices to receive form submissions. You can receive them instantly by email, or you can log into your JotForm account periodically and view/download all submissions. To receive submissions as e-mail alerts, log into your JotForm account, choose the form you would like to receive submissions for and click on "Edit" button. On the "Form Editor" screen for your form, you will see a "Email Alerts" button, click on that customize your emails. Certainly! JotForm allows you to copy the source code of a form into your site. On the Form Editor, click on "Share" button to get the source code for your form. Then simply copy and paste it into your site. You may also forward users back to your site right after submission. First create a "Thank You" page in your site. Next, click on "Thank You" button on the Form Editor. Finally, copy and paste the URL of the Thank You page into "Thank You URL" option.
