Parts:
1. the form tag: <form> and closing </form> (wrapped around the
next two items)
2. form elements (ex. text field, menu---to enter in the information)
3. submit button (to send the information)
With Dreamweaver
1. Select Insert>Form from the main
menu.
Or click on the form button in the object panel: form section:
The form will appear in the document window as a red box. It will be 100% of the browser window. You can't change this, but you can put forms in tables to format them. (if you don't see the red box, turn on View>Visual Aids>Invisible elements
In HTML
The form tag needs to point to the processing file URL of the CGI script and it needs to say how it will send the data (using Post or Get methods). The "get" method limits the amount of data you can get, so "post" is more commonly used and recommended.
ex.
To get the above put
this into the <body> section of your html:
<form method="post" action="http://www.cookwood.com/cgi-bin/display_results.pl">
<textarea name="wrap">Comments?</textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Order Bed"
name="submit" />
<input type="reset" value="Start Over" name="startover"
/>
</form>
