Form Processing

Forms are a part of HTML which, put simply, take input from the user and do something with it. Here are various elements a form might contain:

Object	What can it be used for
	an area for inputting text
	a checkbox which can be checked 'on or 'off'
	'radio buttons', only one of which can be 'on' at any one time
	a menu, one item of which can be chosen
	a list, more than one of which can be chosen by holding down ctrl and/or shift
	a button to submit the contents of a form
	a button to reset the contents of a form

School web sites located on their .herts.sch.uk domain can use a form processing script in order to take information from HTML forms and email it to one or more email address(es) of your choice. Full details are available on how to set up forms on your school web site, although for security reasons the more in-depth technical information is only available in Hertfordshire Schools.
