Chapter 18. Building Forms

Adding Form Elements
Aligning the Layout
Applying Style Rules to Form Elements
Validating Form Input
Submitting the Form


Want to collect input from your visitors? An HTML form is the way to go. A form is a collection of fields (also called objects or widgets)little interactive elements that the visitor clicks or types into. When the visitor clicks the form's Submit button, the browser packages the values of the fields and sends them off. In a dynamic site, the form submission often goes to another page for processing, and this page is loaded with server-side code. In a static site, like the kind you're building, you have to instruct the browser to send the submission to an email address.

This chapter shows you how to construct a form in Dreamweaver, align the fields, apply styles, and submit the values by email.
