Every form requires a few basic elements.
The rest of the form is based on what the CGI requires. For this class we are using a simple CGI that will take the information from a form and mail it to an email address that you have provided. The CGI can format the email header if you include some specific fields on the form, but it will return all the information entered in that form. If you want to do something different with your form, you will need to find a different CGI, write a CGI, or find someone who can program one for you. First review the conceptual overview of forms to understand how the client and server interact.
