Form definition <FORM>

The Form command allows the user to transmit information to a server. It’s a graphic interface and uses push buttons, text boxes, list boxes, etc. Inside the <FORM> and </FORM> tags you can find the following commands:

INPUT, SELECT or TEXTAREA, all the other information directly related to the form must be inserted within these tags, including the text that accompanies each form field.

1. In the Form tab, click on Form definition button.
   The form definition box appears.

2. In the Action text box, type the address needed to complete the command’s execution. You can select the desired URL address type among the following options. Then, a syntax example appears in the input field.
   This address will be the recipient of the information entered in the form. If the Action is absent, the URL is the same as the current document.

3. In the Send method button, select the method of submitting the form to a web server. There are two methods, GET and POST.
   The GET method directs information to go through a variable QUERY_STRING to interpret data. This method must be used when the purpose of the query is to obtain information on the server.
   On the other hand, the POST method is used to change or add information from the server. This method submits complete messages to the server.
   On the Frame Target tab, you can specify a destination frame if form data references a particular location in the file.
   Click on the OK button.
