FORMS!

Forms are pretty easy to make. You can use them for letting people give you input on your page or for even more helpful things. I should have one on my drinks page. That way if somebody wants to send me a suggestion for a new drink to add I could do something like this:

(The first line below is what you have to use to let the browser know 
you're starting a form and where to send it. You need to change hootch
to your own member name. Under each form property I listed the commands 
I used to call that property.  The commands in green are 
things you can change to suit your own taste.)

<FORM METHOD="Post" ACTION="/cgi-bin/homestead/mail.pl?hootch">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Drink Recipes">

Name:

Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="NAME" SIZE=25,1>

Email:

Email:  <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="EMAIL" SIZE=25,1>

Drink Name:

Drink Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="DRINK" SIZE=25,1>

Shooter Drink

<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="TYPE" VALUE="SHOT">Shooter

<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="TYPE" VALUE="DRINK">Drink

Tell me your recipe:

Tell me your recipe: <BR>
<TEXTAREA COLS=40 ROWS=6 NAME="RECIPE"></TEXTAREA>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="submit">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="clear">

</FORM>

There are several other things you can do with your form. You can use checkboxes, pull-down menus, allow the visitor to send files and more. Here's a couple of them:

<select>
<option selected>yes
<option>no
</select>

yes no

<input type="checkbox" name="vote" value="yes">
<input type="checkbox" name="vote" value="no">
