Form submitting
I can remember how to create a form but how do I add the submit button or tab so people can send info to me.
The web site I'm looking after for a friend does have free CGI/PHP support.
How do info come back to me in order for me to improve the site if required.
RE: form submitting
Stephen,
The 'action' parameter of your FORM tag needs to be set to a CGI file (or PHP, ASP etc.)
This can be a file on your server, or a 3rd party solution, such as the free Bravenet. The CGI file will have access to all your form fields as variables, and you will be able to do a number of things with this data.
The most common is to e-mail the fields to yourself. See this post for sending the data to you via e-mail.
The actual submit button itself is simply a form element, and you can insert it using Dreamweaver. See Insert -> Form objects -> Button.
If this answers your question, please mark this post as resolved. Otherwise, please elaborate and I'll get back to you.
Regards, Rich
