HTML Files are simply text files
Notepad and WordPad are fine text editors
Emacs and XEmacs are good, and also work in Linux
Many freeware HTML editors exist
CoffeeCup is a good free version (and better commercial version…)
Many others: search for “HTML Editor” on www.download.com
Be sure to check the licensing agreements
Commercial software
Microsoft Expression Studio is on these machines
Macromedia DreamWeaver is on these machines
Visual Studio is also on these machines
Form options
Our form doesn’t (yet) do anything
We need to direct its values to some destination site
Once the user hits the submit button
action, method attributes of <form> specify this
action: URL to destination site
method: how to send the data (get, post)
Example:
<form action="mydest.htm" method="get">
