Chapter 8

Forms

Ok. By now you should be getting the gist of html 4. Easy huh? So easy, you're going to fly through this chapter.
Below is the source for a simple but complete form.

<form action="/cgi-bin/formmail.pl" method="get">

First name <input type="text" size="46" value="" name="realname">
E-mail <input type="text" size="46" value="" name="email">
Comments <textarea rows="5" cols="50" name="comments"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="press here">
<input type="hidden" value="admin@email.net" name="recipient">

</form>

The effect

Recipient
Name
From E-mail
Enter your enquiry in the space provided below:



  

The breakdown

Obviously i have used a table which would allowed me to position each element. Start with the opening <form> tag and finish with the closing </form> tag. Inside this tag use the action attribute , which points to the location of your cgi script. Then you must add either 'get' or 'post' in the method attribute.

Next add the 1st input field. Input fields have no closing tag and are one line fields. The textarea field which can be as many lines as you like does have a closing tag. The hidden input field is sometimes used to pass information to the cgi script. And finally the submit input field was added which is like an 'ok, send it now' button.

If the idea of learning to implement cgi scripts is too daunting for you at this stage, just replace the url in the action="" attribute with a mail to link ( Chapter 4 ).

action="mailto:you@youraddress.com"

Choose an attribute for the input tag from the drop down menu below to see its description.



A common mistake when using the textarea tag is to forget the closing tag.

Drop down menus

To create drop down menus use the <select></select> tag in between the opening and closing <form> tag. In between the opening and closing tag use the <option> tag like this...

<select>
<option value="one">one
<option value="two">two
<option value="three">three
</select>

Effect

... to remove the arrow and allow the user to see more than one option at a time type multiple and size="" inside the opening <select> tag.

Form to e-mail CGI script.
