Using Forms in the Page Designer
A Web page form allows users to input and submit data, such as order information or user information. Forms include form elements, where users input their data. There are several types of form elements:
- Text box - Allows users to enter a line of text.
- Text area - Allows users to enter multiple lines of text.
- Radio button - Allows users to select an option from a group of options. Radio buttons are shown as circles with space in the center for a dot that indicates the radio button has been selected.
- Checkbox - Allows users to select options from a group of options. Checkboxes are shown as squares with space within the borders for an X that indicates the checkbox has been selected.
- List - Allows users to select options from a group of options. Lists are shown as a drop-down list or a list box.
- Button - Allows users to click a button to call JavaScript code. For example, by clicking the Submit button, the user calls the JavaScript code that submits the form.
