To open Cosmo Create's form-building tool, choose Tools > Form... This tool lets you add components that are commonly found on forms: fill-in text fields, lists, and options. No matter what type of component you add, you follow the same basic procedure. The procedure is outlined below; it's followed by step-by-step instructions for each component.
This name does not appear on the form; it's stored in the HTML file. The cgi-bin program uses this name to identify the information collected from that field.
If this is the first item you've added, you'll notice that a thin line appears along the left edge of the page. This shows you which region of the page is designated as a form.
By default, when you start creating a form, you see a thin bracket along the left edge of the page. The bracket identifies that portion of the page as a form area. When you're finished creating the form, you can close the form area by pressing the <Enter> key twice. You create a new, empty paragraph after the form that's not a part of the form.
Similarly, if you want to create a paragraph before the form that's not part of the form, put the cursor at the beginning of the form and press <Enter> twice.
You do not need to exit a form area before exiting Cosmo Create; Cosmo Create saves your form regardless.
See the Form Tool reference card for complete information on the form tool dialog.
