Form elements include text areas, text fields, pop-up menus, buttons or checkboxes that the viewer can select, and a submit button that the viewer clicks to send their input to the server. You can also include a button for resetting the viewer's input, a password field, and hidden entry elements in your form. You can change form elements the same way you change other Web page elements, that is, you can copy them, move them around, and resize them using the same basic methods. See Cutting, copying, and pasting for more information. Adding form elements to your Web page All form elements are added to your Web page in the same way.
Some elements work differently and therefore have specific instructions.
The following sections detail each element and their use. Choose Forms from the Insert menu and then choose an element from the submenu. Enter the name and other specifications for the element in the Object Editor. The name of the element is used by the CGI script to locate the viewer's input. To add form elements to your Web pages quickly, you can also choose Show Forms Palette from the Windows menu and drag the appropriate buttons from the palette onto your Web page.
