| After you have created your form, you are ready
to design the form itself. Remember that you create a form field with the <FORM></FORM> tag pair. Within the <FORM> tags will go the entire form, i.e. both the questions you ask and the form elements, i., e., the box and button spaces where the user will supply responses. |
||
| To create a form element in HomeSite, use the Advanced tab on the speedbar. | ||

| The Text Block | A text
block allows the user to write a response in a larger space. Text blocks are useful for short answer responses. A text block can hold up to 32,700 characters. Scroll bars will appear in the text block if they are needed. |
