using Fox a form could look something like this in markup:

(:fox frm target=TargetPageName redirect=1:)
(:foxtemplate "||{$$name}} ||{$$address} ||{$$email ||":)
||
|| Name:||(:input text name size=30:) ||
|| Address:||(:input text address size=30:) ||
|| Email:||(:input text email size=30 ||
|| ||(:input submit post 'Add to List':) ||
(:foxend frm:)

of course you could use more input fields etc.

On the target page create a simple table with the headings for the
list, Fox will add new entries as table rows below it, according to
its single row template. You can get more fancyfull by using
a separate template page.

||
||!Name ||!Address ||!Email ||


If you use Fox make sure you read about the security settings, and
set page permissions for the target page.
