What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA

Like PriceLine.com and other websites asking you to enter your initials before making a bid - is there any way I can do such a thing through email with my own contracts/agreements?

Or must I still get a signature on a document in person, or through the mail, by fax etc.

Because there is secure website activity happening behind the scenes at websites like PriceLine.com, maybe that is why the entry of someone's initials causes the contract to be binding?

And thus I would have to use the same process with my online contracts i.e. get the contract sent to the browser from, and returned to, a secure server?

Text emails don't offer any interactivity, but maybe an HTML email containing the contract could have an input box at the end which sends data (the entered initials) back to the server...

Any further information would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Simon.
