 Forms |
With a form you can add surveys, order forms, and a guestbook to your web
page. Forms are a great way to get feedback from people visiting your Webpage.
By using forms on your Webpage you can collect as well as display information. |
| In
the HTML source code of your Webpage the FORM tag is used to specify a
fill out form. Generally the FORM tag contains the METHOD and the ACTION
attributes. Generally the METHOD is POST. Where POST means send the data
by an HTTP post transaction. The ACTION argument specifies the address
of the CGI script where the information is sent. |
|
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is the standard interface for external
applications. CGI script can be written in many programming languages.
The CGI script processes the data. The CGI script can email the contents
of the form to an address indicated or it can further process the information. |
