I'm making a website for a radio show and I want to have a field where users can enter a song request which will then be sent to the radio show's email address. At this point I'm not very familiar with input fields. Does anyone have an idea what type of form input I could use?

8,668 PointsThanks Kevin, could you recommend a Treehouse video that would show me how to send the text input from the input field directly to an email address?
