Project Guidelines

Forms of Feedback

 

This Week's Goals:

The web becomes truly interactive when your audience can respond to you. This week you will examine a) how Common Gateway Interface (cgi) scripts work; b) how to write the html code to include a form on your web page.

What to do This Week:

1. Please look at the View<Page Source> for the form that you filled out for the class.

2. Read one or both of these two articles about cgi at

  1. "The Most Simple Introduction to CGI" at bignosebird.com
  2. Tutorial on How CGI Works at Web Developers Virtual Library

3. Do Project 8 in Projects for HTML by Linda Erikson. Or read chapter 11 of Raggett on HTML 4 or material about forms in the text of your choice. Some of the other tutorials listed in the Resources link also may help, if you need to see this material explained in another way.

4. Read the comments about <form> in the link below.

5. Try the quiz if you find that useful.

6. Do this week's submission and post it on the web. If you need help, post your question to the ListServ with the topic of your message marked "Help for Unit 11."
