Creating Forms Using forms allows you to get information from users. Common uses for forms include surveys, order forms, quizzes, and search interfaces. The server activates the named application and passes it the collected information. Dreamweaver includes an example form and CGI script in the Techniques folder in the Dreamweaver application folder. The Form Objects Palette shows up.
Buttons perform standard tasks such as submitting or resetting forms, or perform a custom function.
You can enter a custom label for a button, or use one of the predefined labels. Check boxes allow for multiple responses in a single group. Radio buttons represent exclusive choices. Selecting a button within a group deselects all others in the group. List menus list a set of values from which users can choose.
