Forms Sample Page

The NetManage Personal Web Server supports a feature called forms. Forms provide a way for users who connect to the pages you create on the NetManage Personal Web Server to communicate with you or supply you with information. The form below shows an example of what a users sees when they connect to a page with a form.


Forms provide a variety of ways you can ask questions or get information. You can use radio buttons:

You can have lines where users provide information:

Comments:


Once the information has been entered the user will push a button on this page to submit the information. When that button is pushed it signals the NetManage Personal Web Server to execute a program. That program will call a set of functions provided by a NetManage API to retrieve the information in the form. This program can be quite simple but currently must be written in the C or C++ programming language. The full WinCGI development package is available in the Newt SDK product.
