Forms

 

Two types of forms:

  • Email
    1. quick and easy
    2. requires client machine to have email program and information for user
    3. doesn't easily allow for collection and organization of data
    4. sample
  • Server-based
  • Let's make our own Feedback form, similar to this
    • <!-- #BeginEditable "body" --> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please use this form to send feedback on any aspect of WIT to the director. Including your name and email address is optional.
