inseting a form in a html page could be define as easy the <form>code is used tell the html that u are about to make a form *
elliotn 8/1/2006 - 5:58:05
eg if u want a user to write his/her name in a text field u would put it as <form> Name:<input type=''text''> </form> the above code will make a form of which a user can type in his or her name. *

A typical HTML login form containing everything youre ever likely to use :: <form action='http://url for the form to be sent to' method='post'> Username:<input name='username' id='username' type='text' value='username' size='15' maxlength='45'/><br> Password:<input name='password' id='password' type='password' value='password' size='15' maxlength='45'/><input type='submit' value='Login!'/> </form> *

all forms contain three things. the <form> and </form> tag - with various extra stuff, including the action=' ' attribute - it basically tells the browser what to do with the form .. at least one input - textbox, radio b*ttons, checkboxes, 'select' drop-down boxes, file input - .. And crucially, an <input type='submit' name='Login'/> if you want your form do actually do anything except look good *

firstly, i'll talk about the various inputs available. inputs do not function properly without the <form> </form> tags wrapped around it ..<input type='text'/> is simply a plain, ordinary text box .. <input type='password'/> is a text box, BUT when text is typed in, it appears as a series of *'s ... <input type='radio'/> radio b*ttons are just a group of options, but you can only select one option *

drop-down boxes are slightly more complex and require more code than all the other types of input .. a simple example showing three options to choose from : <select name='example drop-down box'> <option value='1'>option 1</option> <option value='2'>option 2</option> <option value='3'>option 3</option> </select> ... If you need any help with any html etc,please feel free to contact me at prodigits *

<input type='submit' name='send'/> ... This basically tells the form do whatever the <form action=' '> is .. If the action is a URL / URI, then all data in the form gets sent to that url, is processed (usually with a programming language such as CGI or Perl or PHP etc) *

btw, i posted all those as double quotes around the values, but have been flitered to become single quotes .. just so youre aware of that .. *
kwah 10/28/2006 - 12:14:26
no, wait lol sorry man - dumb me .. you need to do tell the url what $(q) is for .. .. for example file.cgi?q=$(q) where the q= bit is important (if present in a working url?) .. sorry i didnt notice that before, but the same applies to the links i posted two msgs ago *
