Working with forms

I've used PageMill to create a form. How I do associate the appropriate CGI script with this page?

Open the Attributes Inspector and set it to 'Page Attributes' mode. Then fill in the path name for the CGI script into the 'Action' edit field. Remember to hit 'return' for the change to be accepted. Currently, PageMill does not provide a means of editing the CGI script directly.

Can PageMill put my pages on a server?

No. You must do that yourself. (We hope to automate this in future versions.)

How do I create a radio button group?

To create a radio button group, first insert a radio button into your page. Then copy the button either by using the copy menu command or by holding the option-key down while dragging the button. Radio buttons that are cloned from one another will all belong to the same group. Another way to group a set of radio buttons is to use the Attributes Inspector to assign the same 'name' to each member of the group.

How do I modify the default text inside a form element?

How do I edit a popup menu?

Double-click on it to open it up for editing. Then just start typing. To set the default selection, just drag the triangle.

How do I create a list selection field?

Insert a popup menu. Select it. Then use the bottom resize handle to size this element so that more than one item is showing. This creates a list selection field. Note also that setting the 'Multiple' checkbox in the Attributes Inspector will convert a popup menu to a list selection field.
