Tutorial Dreamweaver - Working with Forms
To
create a form
-
-
Place the insertion where you want the form to appear, and
choose Insert > Form.
-
Place the insertion point where you want the form to appear,
and click the Form button on the Forms panel of the Object
palette.
-
Drag the Form button to the desired location on the page.
If there is no visible result, check that View > Invisible
Element is on.
-
Select the form and set form properties in the Property inspector.
Choose from the following options:
-
Form name assigns a name to the form. Naming a form
makes it possible to control it with a scripting language,
such as JavaScript or VBScript.
-
Action
identifies the server-side application that processes the
form information, specified as a URL. Click the folder icon
to locate the application, or enter the application's path.
-
Method
defines how the form data is handled.
-
In the Property inspector, choose one of the following methods
to define how the form data is handled:
-
Get
appends from values to the URL and sends the server a
GET request. Because URLs are limited to 8192 characters,
don't use the GET method with long forms.
-
Post
sends the form values in the body of a message and sends the
server a POST request.
-
Default
uses the browser's default method (generally GET).
To
add an object to a form
-
-
Place the insertion point inside the form boundary, and
choose an object from the Insert > Form Object menu.
-
Place the insertion point inside the form boundary, and
click an object button on the Forms panel of the Object
palette.
-
Drag an object button to the desired location inside the
form boundary.
-
Specify the properties for the object in the Property inspector
(choose Window > Properties to display the Property inspector
if it is not already open).
-
Text fields accept any type of text, alphabetic or
numeric. The entered text can be displayed as a single line,
as multiple lines, or as bullets or asterisks (for password
protection).
-
Buttons perform tasks when clicked, such as submitting
or resetting forms. You can enter a custom label for a button,
or use one of the predefined labels.
-
Image
fields can be used in place of Submit buttons.
-
Checkboxes allow multiple responses in a single group
of options.
-
Radio buttons represent exclusive choices. Selecting
a button within a group deselects all others in the group.
-
List/menu present a set of values from which users
can choose. The object can present a pop-up menu, which appears
only when user clicks the object's name (and which accepts
only a single choice), or a list box, which always displays
the values in a scrolling list (and which accepts more than
one choice).
-
File
fields let users browse to files on their hard disks and
upload them as form data.
-
Hidden
fields let you store information (such as recipient of
form data or the subject of the form) that is not relevant
to the user but that will be used by the application that
processes the form.
-
Jump
menu lets you insert in which each option links to a document
or file.
-
Type a label or descriptive text, if desired, next to the object.
