INSERTING A FORM ON YOUR PAGE
Insert > form on your page. The form shows as a red dotted line and
additional form objects, such as text fields and buttons must be inserted
between the form tags (the dotted red lines) for the data to be processed
correctly by all browsers.
Click the form’s red outline to select the form, if it isn't already
selected and in the Properties Inspector's Form Name field, type a unique
name to label the form. Naming a form makes it possible to reference
or control the form with a scripting language, such as JavaScript.
In the Action field, specify the path to the URL where the processing
script or application that will process the form information resides,
by doing one of the following:
• Click the folder icon, then navigate to the appropriate
folder.
• Type the complete path to the folder.
If you're specifying a path to a CGI script, the path to the URL will look similar to this example:
http://home.btconnect.com/cgi-bin/mailto/julie@london.com
In the Method pop-up menu, choose the method in which the form data will be handled.
• Choose POST to send the form values in the body of a
message(this is the most common method).
• Choose GET to send information to the server with the
submitted form values appended to the URL.
The
structure of the form:
A form contains properties that are invisible to the user but which
specify how the form will be processed. The elements that make up your
form are form objects or form fields. Insert them by choosing Insert
> Form and Insert > Form Objects.
