Feedback Forms processed by CGI
page 2: Adding the submit
and reset buttons and hidden fields
page 1: Creating the form using various form
objects
Drag a submit button (second form object in the form objects panel) to the page. If you select the label checkbox, you can change the default name “Submit” to something more meaningful.
You can drag a reset button (third form object in the form object panel) to the page so that users can clear the form and start over if they like.
The completed page will look something like this:
We're not done yet, however. We need to add at least one hidden field. We need to indicate where the form data gets sent! Usually this is done with a hidden field you name “recipient” whose value you'll set to your E-mail address.
There are other hidden fields you might want to consider adding to your form. If you want the E-mail you receive with the form data to have a subject when it comes to your E-mail box (rather than an empty subject field), add a hidden field named “subject” and create a meaningful subject name.
If you want to create a custom page to which the user is directed after he or she successfully submits the form data, you can use the hidden field named “redirect” and enter the URL for the page.
We're almost there, but we still have to configure the cgi script.-->
