This script collects the values from specified form fields on your page, and put them into a hidden textarea, 

with any format you desire. The final e-mail you reciever then has the hidden textarea at the top. It uses a 

combination of a browser detect, functions, and onChange and onClick event handlers. BROWSER SUPPORT: IE4, 

IE5, NS3, NS4.05+

// This is exactly how

// the output will be displayed.  The text inside the ' and '

// will be displayed exactly as shown (if using monospaced font) this is called a

// string and how it is displayed compared to the strings above it will make the

// everything line up in the output. You can include a string containing only spaces.

// The addreturn adds a line break. The + adds the next item.  There

// must be a + before every new variable or string ( '  ' )

// the first line below makes two blank lines appear first
