| Forms are one of the features that distinguish websites from print materials. They allow the reader to interact with the material, make choices, purchase goods, join mailing lists. Forms consist of labels and menus of choices, such as "Select your favorite stores" from the list of cities in a dropdown menu. Forms require a receiving server that has been programmed to accept the information once it is submitted. |
This can be a free website or a service that you purchase, depending on your needs. Form results can also be sent to the webmaster through email, but this can be difficult to keep track of if you have very many respondants. Below is an example of a form requesting information about the user's preferences regarding teas. |
