Create the Reset and Submit Buttons
| At the end of a
form you should add two push buttons.
The Reset button allows a user to delete form data and start all over again. The Submit button sends the data in the form to the server where you can retrieve it. |
||
| Example | ||
| To add a push button to your web page using Dreamweaver, you can choose Insert, Form Objects, Button from the main menu. | ||
|
|
||
| You can also click on the Insert Button button on the Forms Object Panel. |
|
|
| If you have not already created a form field to hold your form element, a dialog box will appear and you will be asked whether you want to add a form tag to your page. | ||
![]() |
||
| To function, a button must be
placed within a form field.
Click on Yes. Your button will appear and be surrounded by a dotted red line. This dotted line delineates the form field. |
||
| Notice that when you insert a text field the Property Inspector displays the attributes of that form element. | ||
![]() |
||
| By default your button is labeled Submit and the Submit form action is selected. | ||
|
If you want to change the label on the button, type in the new label in the ButtonName text box. |
||
| If you wish to change the lettering on the button itself, type in a new value in the Label text box. | ||
| If you wish to use the button to reset the form (i.e., delete the answers and start all over), select Reset form in the Action field. | ||
