Most companies today use e-forms in some way or the other, ranging from the simple contact form with fields where customers can leave their e-mail address and a message, to complex multi-page forms incorporating calculations and logic.
While most e-forms are still implemented using HTML - often accompanied by JavaScript to handle client-side validations and interaction logic - other technologies such as Adobe Flash, Flex and even PDFs are increasing in popularity due to their ability to deliver rich client-side content. Furthermore, although browsers still have yet to natively support it, technologies implementing the new XForms format are starting to emerge with implementations often based on Ajax.
