SIMPLE BASIC FORM TUTORIAL: Part 5

MacBoy's

for GeoCities, Part 5:
Links and a Sample Survey

Links for you to use...

Once your form is up and running, you might be willing to add one of these buttons to your form page:

Hwhite.gif
Hblue.gif
Hgrey.gif
Hyellow.gif
Use this code to link back here; you don't even need to copy the images!

<A HREF="/SiliconValley/Vista/4555"><IMG SRC="/SiliconValley/Vista/4555/Hwhite.gif" WIDTH="131" HEIGHT="35" border=0 alt="Form Tutorial"></A>

Just change the gif name to the image of your choice. If you don't care to add a graphic link, a simple text link would be great too.

... And a Survey Form - Hey, you didn't think you could get away without one, did you?

Now that you've learned all the components you'll need to make up a form and place a survey in your own page, here's a complete survey sample, and below it, the source code you'd use to create it.

Pretty much all tags discussed in the Tutorial are in use in the following form. But feel free to adapt it to your liking.

NOTE: This is a Sample Survey only! Do not fill it out, as it will not send the responses anywhere.
