Adding Dynamic Content 241

From the web visitor's perspective, information is typed into text boxes or

selected from check boxes, radio buttons, or drop-down boxes. The information

entered can be numeric, textual, or a mixture of both, depending on the type of

field. The tab order by which fields are to be completed is configurable, as is

validation of input data (see WebPlus help for more about tab order and

validation).

Each field has its own set of properties relating to its appearance, its value(s),

validation, or the action expected of the field.

A form's functionality only becomes active when your website is published (of

course you can still preview your forms from within WebPlus, see Previewing

your site on p. 289). When a web visitor enters data into, or selects a form

option, the data will be sent back to a chosen destination when the form is

submitted.

JavaScript can be used to allow interactivity in your web forms. It drives

formatting, validation, calculations, and actions—all key functions in Web-

based form development.

Where is data sent?

After submission, form data can be sent to one of the following:

• an email address (of the web developer).

• a script file (stored locally or remotely); this could write text to a text

file or into a server database.

• Serif Web Resources; for transit of form data to your email (via Serif).
