You use fill-in text fields when you need people to enter information by typing. For instance, you might use a text field to gather a person's name or address.
The Form tool changes. It displays the controls you use to set up a text field.
This name does not appear on the form; it's stored in the HTML file. The cgi-bin script uses this name to identify the information collected from that field.
When users type into password fields, the text is hidden.
This is measured in characters. If you want the field to be wide enough to display 10 characters, type 10 in the field.
For example, if you do not want people to enter more than ten characters in the text field, set Max Length to 10.
