AKA "Form Thing", the HTMLForm toolbar contains 10 tools to speed the
frequently tedious process of creating HTML forms.
 |
The HTML FORM TOOL
offers a list of each of the other form tools. Any of the form tool's tags
can be inserted by selecting one of the entries on the list. |
 |
BEGINNING FORM TAG TOOL
Enters the appropriate beginning form tag and prompts you for
the URL of the script which will run the form. |
 |
CANCEL FORM TAG TOOL
Enters the tag which indicates the end of the form. |
 |
CHECKBOX TOOL
Prompts you for the "VALUE" you wish to assign and enters a
Checkbox Tag. Offers the "SELECTED" option for each entry.
The "NAME" field is recorded and remains the default name until
you choose to change it. |
|
 |
DROPDOWN BOX TOOL
|
|
Select any number of paragraphs containing text in your document,
click the tool and an <OPTION> tag will be immediately inserted at
the beginning and an </OPTION> tag will be inserted at the end of
each paragraph in your selection. |
|
<SELECT NAME="whatever-you-choose">
and </SELECT> <P> tags will also immediately be inserted at the
beginning and at the end, respectively, of the selection. The default setting
will display the first entry in the list on the HTML page. If you prefer, you
can easily choose the "SIZE" option so that any number of the list entries
will be displayed without scrolling in the HTML document. |
|
The Dropdown Box Tool also offers an option for an "OPTION VALUE".
If that option is selected, a dialog box opens at each entry and asks for the
value. In the box used for gathering that value, the number of the entry is
displayed and can be used as the default value or replaced with any other value,
text or numeric.
|
 |
RADIO BUTTON TOOL
Prompts you for the "VALUE" you wish to assign and enters a
Radio Button Tag. Offers a "CHECKED" option.
The "NAME" field is recorded and remains the default name until
you choose to change it. |

|
Enters a Textarea Tag and offers "WRAP TEXT" or "DON'T WRAP TEXT" options.
The "ROWS" field and the "COLS" field are recorded and remain the default
selections until you choose to change them. In addition, an option is provided
which accommodates any default text you want to display within the TextArea.

of the Cancel Tag in each list. Most of the other form tools offer
the following options:
