Forms Assignment
COSC 1301
After reading the form tutorials, create a feedback form to gather information from someone visiting your website.
Include questions with each of the following input types
text box (box for a short answer)
password
checkbox (with at least 3 choices)
radio (with at least 3 choices)
dropdown menu (with at least 3 possible answers)
textarea (Large enough to hold several sentences)
submit button
reset button
You just have to create the form and upload
it to Geocites. You do not have to include the method and action attributes
in your <form> element. However, remember your form will not work
without them. This is an advanced step and we will not be learning how to
program cgi scripts nor do we have access to a server set up to receive our
form data. This lab just gives you an idea of how to write the html to
create a form.
You can experiment with setting the method to post and the action to "your email address"
<form method="post"
action="mailto:tcanada1301@yahoo.com" enctype="text/plain"> if you like.
(replace my address with yours)
but this will not
work unless the person filling out the form has email software on their computer
(such as Outlook or
Eudora) that has been configured with their email address and server
information. If they do have their email software configured, then it will
send (post) their answers to your email address (action)
Be sure to put a link to your form on your assignments.html page and email me when you have finished this assignment.
