Entry Blanks take the form name SIZE=##>name is the name the data received from that entry blank will be
called. ## is the number of characters wide the blank will be. If a user types in
more than ## characters, the blank will scroll, but only ## will be displayed at a
time.
Example:
Text Areas are like big entry blanks. Entry Blanks can only be one line,
but Text Areas can be as big as you'd like. The workspace on the Scratch Pad is a
Text Area.
Text Areas take a different form from the other form elements. They begin with
name ROWS=## COLS=##>name has the same meaning for all form elements. ## is
the number of ROWS or COLumnS the Text Area will take up. Just like with entry
blanks, if more than that is entered, it will scroll, but it will only display
##x## characters.
Example:
Radio Buttons and Checkboxes take the form
NOTE: You can use the submit button as a link to another
HTML page.
Example: This button will take you to the main menu:
name TYPE="type"
VALUE="value">type is either
radio or checkbox. Checkboxes let the user check things
from a list. Radio Buttons are similar, but only one button with a particular
name came be pressed at a time. So, if you had two radio buttons named ANSWER,
the user could only select one of them. If the user tries to pick a second button,
the first one is unselected.
value is the data value the item passes to the script if the item is
clicked. So, if a checkbox named BOB with a value of YES was checked, it would
pass the script BOB=YES.submit and reset.
These buttons take the form: type"
VALUE="value">Return in the example below, and type is either
submit or reset, respectively. submit is
the button the user presses to send in the form. reset clears the
entire form so the user can start over. The "submit" button is necessary. The form
won't work without one. The "clear" button is optional.
<FORM ACTION="/path/webpage.html">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Click Me!">
</FORM>
This code creates a button labeled Click Me! which acts as a link to webpage.html.
The only catch is that you must specify the address absolutely. (although you can
leave out the server name.) So, to link to this page I'd use
ACTION="/crash/Advanced.html".
