| In this class, we will continue
working with the Web we created in FrontPage
101 and 102, and
103. This
class is all about Forms - web pages that collect data from your
visitors and either post them to a page on your Web site, or email the
results back to you.
If you want to learn how to start building
Interactive Web Sites then this class is a
MUST for you!
We will start by learning about forms, how they
work, and what they're used for. We'll learn about all of the different
components on a form, such as text boxes, text areas, check
boxes, option groups, push buttons, drop-down list, and so on.
We'll create a basic Feedback Form, where
our users can submit comments about our Web site. This information can
then be both saved to a text database file on our server, or emailed to
us.
You will learn how to manipulate the
properties of the different form components (text boxes, drop-down
boxes, and so on).
We will examine the different Form Properties.
We will show you how to save your results file in different formats for
review on your Web site.
You will learn how to have the form results
emailed to you in any number of formats, and how to change the email
properties, such as the subject line, reply-to address, and more.
We will examine the different email results
in detail.
You will learn how to create a custom
Confirmation Page for your visitors to hit after they submit their
comments.
We will show you all of the different
information that can be saved along with your forms, including a
date and time stamp, the visitor's IP address, and more.
You will learn how to track secret information
using Hidden Fields.
Once again, this is the first course were we begin
showing you how to let your users interact with your Web site. If
you are planning on developing feedback forms, guestbooks, message
forums or anything else for your web site that involves user
interaction, this course is a MUST for you.
