Inserting a form area

When you create a form in Claris Home Page, you insert a special form area in your page to contain the form elements, such as text areas or check boxes, and a submit button, and the reference link to the CGI script. The form area can contain anything else you want to add, such as text and images.

You can have multiple form areas on a page, but each form area can have only one CGI script associated with it to process the data that is entered in that area.

To insert a form area in Claris Home Page:

1. Place the insertion point in the Web page where you want the form to go.
   
2. Choose Form from the Insert menu, and then choose Form Area from the submenu.
   
   A form area with a red border appears in the page, and the Form Area Object Editor opens.

   

Once you have inserted the form area, you can add form elements and other Web page elements to it, and specify the form action (location of the CGI script) in the Form Area Object Editor.
