Form Tool

Web documents let you deliver information to other people on the Internet. In addition, you can include a form in your Web document to gather information from other people. The Form tool allows you to create these forms. (See Including Forms in a Web Document for complete instructions.)

The Form Tool lets you add a particular type of item to the form. You can add fill-in text fields, scrolling text areas, radio buttons, check boxes, scrolling selection lists, menu buttons, hidden fields, and buttons.

This tool lets you design the form. To make the form functional, you need to write a program called a cgi-bin script. Click the Script button in the Form Tool when you're ready to create and attach the script to the form.

Find It: Choose Tools > Form or click the Create forms button in the Entry palette to launch the dialog.
