forming up

This week we'll played with some nifty form elements. The W3C have the definitive word on forms here, or you can find a gentler introduction on Tizag.

Once you've gotten across it all, try to implement a simple form. See if you can re-create the following useful web page:




To get it looking just like this, you'll need a couple of divs, one floated to the left, or you might want to see how the pros do it on the create forms using CSS page.

Once you have the form all built, set its "action" attribute to point to http://www.bathurst-tafe.nsw.edu.au/~pshanks/dump-globals.php

Try it out with both GET and POST methods.

That should be enough to get you through the Easter break, see you all in a couple of weeks and don't eat too much chocolate.
