Hello I really like the simplicity of this form. See link here http://tympanus.net/Development/FullscreenForm/
How can i actually get the form to send the results. The example is not a full working example it seems.

9,055 PointsTed Sumner the script files are in the link. There are multiple js. and css files. if you use google developer tools you could view from the demo if you dont want to download. I dont know if i need to edit or add php or even more javascript. the readme.text file doesn't help.
I'm just trying to figure out if creating a form like this that can actually send the data is possible.

Basically you'd just have to add an action and method to the form element, and than the submit button will send the form off to that location, which is where you'd use a back end language to do something with the data.
You'll just have to adjust the html to create the form elements you want. Certainly possible to make the form work. Hope that helps.
Just a note, that there is a note in the article about it is only supported by later browsers, so make sure it'll work for your user base.
