Working with forms

To start a form

- A form must be built between form markers. You can begin a form by selecting Insert > Form or by clicking on the form icon on the tool bar.
- Your form works perfectly well and can be used to collect information to be used by JavaScript or a CGI script.
  - To be used by JavaScript the form needs a NAME
  - To send it to a CGI script you need to supply an action and a method.
  - To use it on your HTML and not attach any logic to it at all, you can just accept the default offerings.
- This inserts <form> and </form> into the HTML of your page but this is not visible to you.
- To see these invisible tags you can select View > Tags from the window menu

- All elements of the form must be placed between these tags. The other markers are only line start and line end markers and should be ignored.

To add form elements

- Place your cursor between form markers
- Select from the list in Insert > Form Element >
  - Button
  - Checkbox
  - List/menu
  - Radio button
  - Textbox/Area
- Follow the dialog box prompts
