Hi
My boss asked me to look for some "form designer" ( ordinary HTML form,
that can send email with information in it ) to end user. So that user
can design in our system his own form with some data. Visitor then can
fill this form. Idea is, that user can maybe drag some controls ( ie textbox ) into form.
Do you have any idea if there is something like that? link? I cannot find anything, that's why I ask here.
Thank you
Martin

Since you will be using it to send e-mails, then this must incorporate the server-side. That being the case, with what language will you be working...PHP, ASP.NET, etc.?
There are hundreds of free form creators available if you just search Google. Until we know what platform you are working with, we cannot help you much more than that.

Oh, I see I forgot. It is going to be in ASP.NET . However I think it is not necessary, I am looking only for "client-rich" side. Whatever user design
can be posted to one ASP page, when I get/parse all entered information

NicEdit (http://www.nicedit.com/) is the nicer js text editor out there imho. While having some insignificant bugs with some "not-so-popular" browsers (works fine, maybe I'm just too picky) they all can be corrected manually if needed.
That's for the client part. The actual email sending process, as PeejAvery mentioned, involves server side code. Probably PHP is the easiest way to do it, even ASP coders prefer PHP for contact forms. If it's pure ASP you want here's an example (http://asp.thedemosite.co.uk/asp_contact_email_form/asp_contact_email_form.asp) (google for more).
