Forms
Forms are extremely useful in many ways. They could be used for bug reports, applications, feedback, mail, and many other things. These are the primary tags.

[FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:[email protected]"]
[/FORM]

* Please substitute your own email address.
Evereything your form consists of resides in between the above tags.

Here is how to create the guts of a form.

For a text box:
[INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="name" SIZE="20"][BR]
You can name the box in the NAME refernce anything you like, if it is a visitors response form you could try "visitor" of course. Also, the size is customizable.


For a radio button:
[INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="" VALUE=""][BR]


For a check box:
[INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="" VALUE=""][BR]


For a selection List:

[SELECT NAME="" SIZE="1"] [OPTION]One [OPTION]Two [OPTION]Three [/SELECT]


Submit and reset buttons:

These buttons do exactly what they promise, this is how you make them:


[INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit"]

[INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Reset"]
