Forms

Dreamweaver CC : Forms

Before we begin entering the actual form objects, we need to know what type of information we want to collect. General form guidelines are as follows.
• Ask for no more than you actually need
• The form structure should be as intuitive as possible
• Provide choices as much as possible
• Keep forms as short as possible
• Include a confirmation or “Thank you” page
• Organize and put like questions together

 

 Note that the name is special to the script, so it is important to use exactly that name for the field
