| 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. | |||
 |
|||
| At the end of the form you will want
to give users an opportunity to erase their answers and start all over again. To do
so you add a reset button to the bottom of your form. Finally, you must give users a button to use when they want to submit their form to you. To do so, you add a submit button to the bottom of your form. Remember that these two buttons are also form elements and thus must be placed within the form box. |

| The Reset Button | The Reset button allows a user to delete form data and start all over again. | ||
