Writing HTML Forms (part 2)
To obtain information fro users, use the < input > tag, it is used with several form elements like checkboxes, radio buttons, reset and submit. Every time a user is about to enter information, the < tag > tag is used. Using the < form method =”POST” action=” “ > tag, you may submit the form to the server and such form will be processed by the script. CGI, PHP and Perl are the common server scripts. There are programs also that offer a wide range of form capabilities but need a higher level of programming ability such as Active Server Pages (ASP) and Cold Fusion which create advanced data driven forms.
