Intro

In this lesson, you will learn how to create interactive feedback forms in Microsoft FrontPage, allowing users to submit information like names and email addresses through your website. We will cover how to collect this data and have it saved as a text file or emailed to you, using Microsoft FrontPage XP 2002 on Windows XP. This lesson builds on previous FrontPage courses and is designed to guide you step by step through adding basic interactivity to your site. This is lesson 201.

Transcript

Welcome to Microsoft FrontPage 201 Intermediate FrontPage, brought to you by 599CD.com. I am your instructor, Richard Rost.

Today's class is all about forms. We are going to focus on building a feedback form for our website where users can type in some information, including a name and email address, and have that information submitted to the website. The website can then save that information as a text file for you to review, and it can also email the information to you. This is the first step in making a website interactive.

This class follows FrontPage 103. We recommend you take FrontPage 103 before taking this course. We also strongly recommend FrontPage 101 and 102, especially if you have never built a website before.

It will also help if you learn Word 101, Windows 101, and either our Windows 102 or 110 courses. We also have an optional HTML 101 course available, and while that course will not directly help you learn FrontPage, knowing HTML will help you if you ever have to modify the HTML under your web pages. HTML, of course, is the language that all web pages are written in.

In this class, we will be using Microsoft FrontPage XP 2002 and Windows XP. Just about everything we cover in today's class, however, will work with every version of FrontPage. And of course, it does not matter which version of Windows you have.

We recommend you watch each lesson completely through and then watch the lesson again while following along on your computer. Try to do the examples exactly as I do them. Then, when you are all finished with this course, go ahead and take what you have learned and apply it to your website.

Do not try to take what you are learning and immediately apply it to your website as you are going through the lessons. That is the perfect way to make a mistake. Study it, work on a sample website, and then after the course is over, go ahead and try to apply what you have learned. And of course, remember to make backups before modifying anything important.

Summary

Today's video from FrontPage Learning Zone is centered on creating forms with Microsoft FrontPage. In particular, I will focus on building a feedback form for your website, allowing users to submit information such as their name and email address. Once submitted, this data can be saved as a text file for your review and can also be emailed to you. Adding this simple feedback form is a key first step towards making your website interactive.

This course is designed to follow FrontPage 103, so I suggest you complete FrontPage 103 beforehand. If you are new to building websites, it is also a good idea to work through FrontPage 101 and 102. A background in Word 101, Windows 101, and either Windows 102 or 110 will help you get the most out of this class. We offer an optional HTML 101 course as well. While HTML knowledge is not required to learn FrontPage, it can be quite helpful if you ever need to modify the code behind your web pages, since HTML is the standard language for web design.

For this session, I am using Microsoft FrontPage XP 2002 and Windows XP. Still, the techniques and information shared today should work effectively with almost every version of FrontPage, and it does not matter which Windows version you are running.

I recommend you watch each lesson from start to finish, then view it again while following along on your computer. Work through the examples just as I demonstrate. When you have completed the course, take time to apply what you have learned to your own website.

Try not to implement new skills directly to your live website as you are learning. Practicing on a sample or test website first will help prevent mistakes. Once you are comfortable and have finished the lessons, you can migrate these changes to your actual site. Always remember to create backups before making any important changes.
