This page gives you an introduction to HTML forms. It contains a
sample form which you can fill out and submit to the server.

Not all Web browsers provide for forms. If yours doesn't, you're out
of luck here.Forms are used whenever you need to obtain input from
the user. As many forms as you need can be placed on a single Web page.
There are two major features used in HTML forms:
- COMMAND BUTTONS
Command buttons are where the user clicks to submit the form to the
server.
- INPUT BOXES
Input boxes are where the user enters information. There may be any
number of input boxes, plus the usual HTML text and graphics, on a
form. The text typed into an input box can be as long as you need;
if you enter more information than will fit on the screen, it will
scroll automatically.
NOTE: If you submit the form, you may receive a warning
message from your browser about "transmitting insecure information".
This message alerts you that your transmission could be
intercepted by a third party while enroute to the server. For more
information, please see the section entitled Web Cash.
