This is a big subject. There's a lot more to say about forms than I'm going
to cover in this book. If you want to become a forms expert, get an HTML manual. What I'll do
is show you a fairly typical form. Then I'll show you how to use a script to extract the data the
visitor typed into it, plus any hidden data. Fair enough? I think so.
Here's the form I use to allow people to purchase advertising in my
newsletter. You are free to copy, modify and use this form any way you would like. I've removed
all of the decorative elements. Your focus should be on the "active" parts of the form, not on
"window dressing." Make no mistake - the appearance of your form page will play a large role in
how well it succeeds in its purpose. Doing a good job of making it attractive and successful is
up to you. |
