WEB DESIGN PART 2

Forms provide the opportunity for interaction between you and your website visitors. They are used to gather specific information and can be designed to be, for example; a survey, a shopping order or to collect feedback on a given topic.

There are 2 important parts to a form-based interaction; the user side and the server side.  The user side is when the user enters information in one or more form fields, or selects a form object, such as a check box or radio button, and then clicks a button to submit the information.  Form results are next processed using form handlers that tell the web server how to process the data collected.  If the server has FrontPage Extensions installed, it can save results to a file, or email them to you.

These skills will be practiced by reproducing the form on the 'Spotlite' web site.
