Adding interactive features
The Web is not a one-way street. From the beginning, it was designed to support interactive, two-way communication between Web sites and Web users. The simplest and most common example of interaction on the Web is the ever-popular “search box”: a simple form in which users type in a word or phrase of interest and click a Search button, thereby telling a Web server to perform a search for the entered keywords.
The common element in virtually all Web-based interaction is the form. A form is an area on a Web page that contains text boxes and other input controls by which a user can enter information to be passed to a script or program on the Web server. With Namo WebEditor, you can create and edit even complex forms easily, using the Form Toolbar and form-related dialog boxes. Namo WebEditor also includes several ready-to-use, form-related scripts you can use to do things like check whether a text box contains a valid e-mail address before the user submits a form.
