FORMS

Forms are to allow the viewer to provide data to the website. The information can be sent via e-mail, sent via CGI (Common Gateway Interface), or become the contents of a variable in a JavaScript program.

<form atttribute(s)> </form> Attributes: action (mailto:, CGI), method (post, get)

<input attribute(s) /> Attributes: type(text, password, checkbox, radio, button, submit, reset), name, size, value, maxlength, checked (radio, checkbox), onclick(JavaScript connected)

<textarea attributes> </textarea> Attributes: rows, cols

Pulldown menu:
<select> </select> with items enclosed in <option> </option>
Selected inside the option tag will have that showing in the box rather than first in the list.
