Week 5

Read chapter 16 in the 8th edition in the HTML & CSS book.  This chapter is about creating forms.  Submission of a form requires a working cgi program on the server to accept your input from the form and to process it.  The cgi programs can be written in may different languages.  Some of the popular ones are Perl, C++, JSP, ASP.NET, or PHP.

In class we will be putting together this form to order t-shirts.
The submission posting action URL is https://tools.ridgewater.net/scripts/tshirt/mail.php

This in class exercise does NOT get turned in. But it is a good template to start your assignment shown below...

Lab Forms

Do:  Create a submission form.  Your posting action will be to the URL https://tools.ridgewater.net/scripts/jmail/data.php

Here is a snapshot of the form and the form variable names.  Also shown is the form action that is called upon submission.  Note:  Pay careful attention to the variable name case.  Variable names are cAsE sEnSiTiVe.

Build the web page containing the form.  Once built and published, test your form.  All input fields will be echoed back if your form is working correctly. That will be how you know if you did everything correctly.

Assignment is due one week from when it was assigned.  50% penalty if late.
