Creating Web Page Forms • When forms are included on a Web page, the page can be used for more than information sending; it can be used for information gathering! • Use a form to interact with your web page visitor including: • Get feedback about the Web page or other areas of interest • Find out who is visiting the Web page • Sell products or services • Act as a guestbook
Three main componets • Input controls • A <FORM> tag (which contains the information necessary to process the form) • A submit button (which sends the data to be processed)
Input Controls • Are any type of input mechanism on a form! • There are two types – data input control and text input control. • Data examples: • Radio button • Check box • Submit button • Reset button • Selection menu (drop-down) • Text examples: • Text field • Textarea field • Password text field
