E-mail:
<div><input name="email" type="text" /></div>

<div><input name="fax" type="text" /></div>

                                                               Job Type:<br /> <select name="Job type" style="width: 181px; height: 21px"> <option> </option> <option>Paint </option> <option selected="selected">New Construction </option> <option>Replacement </option> <option>Deck </option> <option>Consultation </option> <option>Window Installation </option> <option>Moist Barrier systems </option> <option>Repairs </option> <option>Material Orders </option> <option>Bid Request </option> </select><br />
                                                            	City:
                                                                <div><input type="text" /></div>
                                                            	Message:<br />
                                                                <textarea rows="40" class="textarea" cols="30"></textarea><br />
																<br />
                                                               <div class="fright indent">
                                                                    <a href="#" class="link-5" onclick="document.getElementById('form').submit()"><em><b>send</b></em></a>
                                                                     <div class="indent-2"> <a href="#" class="link-5" onclick="document.getElementById('form').reset()"><em><b>reset</b></em></a></div>
                                                                </div>
                                                                <br class="clear" />
                                                            </div>
                                                            </form>

and here is my .PHP code...

<?php $to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Contact Us";
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
if ($sent) {print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; } ?>

It sends the email only its completely blank, even though it says "your mail was sent successfully"

Im a complete NOOB at this code stuff and Im completely lost without frontpage extensions. I am trying to make this form work for my business, any help?

I have no idea what "microsoft expressions" is, but in the end I suppose it doesn't matter. What does matter is that you handle your html code and php code correctly.

Do you know what the "name" attribute of a form control does?

You also have to check that data that you assume is there, really is there, and that it is safe to use and that it makes sense to use it. In the case of the email message (which is always empty), you might want to send an email only if the email isn't empty

$message = isset($_POST['message']) ? : trim($_POST['message']) : '';
if (!empty($message))
{
	# send email
}
else
{
	echo 'We do not send empty emails.';
}
