Making Your Forms Work with CGI Scripts
Forms are an important part of Web design because they allow us to
collect data from our visitors. Forms can add interactively to our Web
pages and perform a lot of useful functions.
In order to create forms, you have to know how to put the form
elements on your page. However, there is another important part to
creating forms. That is making the form work with a script that will
take the data entered by your visitors and process it in some way. Your
choice of a script depends upon the purpose of your form. Some forms
interact with a JavaScript that is coded into the Web page and is run
by the visitor's browser. The large majority of forms are processed by
a script that is resident on a remote server, however. When the user
fills in his data and then clicks the submit button, the data is sent
to the script whose address is coded into the form tag.
