Forms: Create a Form

	You create a form by first generating a form field. Within that form field will go the entire form, i.e., both the questions you ask and the form elements, the box and button spaces where the user will supply responses.
	Before you create a form in Dreamweaver, be sure to enable Dreamweaver to display the borders of the form. Choose View, Visual Aids, Invisible Elements from the main menu bar.

	There are two ways to create a form in Dreamweaver. You can choose Insert, Form from the main menu. A red dotted line appears; this line marks the form field.
	You can also create a form with the Objects panel. First choose to display the forms category of the Objects Panel Then click on the Insert Form button. A red dotted line appears; this line marks the form field.	Insert Form button on the Forms Object Panel
	Note that once the form field appears, the Property Inspector displays form attributes.

Handle the Form	To specify how you will gather and retrieve the information that you request in a form, you must get some information from your web site administrator. Your administrator will tell you the location of the CGI script that will process the form. You will type the URL of the location of that script, or form handler, in the Action text box on the Property Inspector. Your web site administrator will also be able to tell you which method (Post or Get) you should use to retrieve the form data.
	Reminder: Before you can actually get your forms to work, you must arrange for the installation of a form handler (i.e., the CGI script that will render the form operable) on your web site host server.
