HTML Tutorial >> HTML Forms.

This HTML Tutorial section describes how to create html forms within your HTML documents. HTML forms are used to gain information from the reader such as feedback, an on-line order for goods, database entry or subscription to a mailing list. We have divided the section between how to place a form on the page (the easy part) and how to get it to return some results (the not so easy part!).

If you can't get your head around writing forms, then trying visiting www.globalguideline.com. They are a FREE service and will generate the HTML for you as well as letting you use their scripts and their server, so you can easily add fill-out forms to your website.

Here HTML Tutorial explains that there is a wide variety of dialog items available for you to place on your html form. You must include the <FORM></FORM> tags or they will not show up. Dialog items are placed there using the <INPUT>, <SELECT> and <TEXTAREA> elements

Described in detail later, the dialog items are as follows:
