TYPE = SUBMIT
SUBMIT creates the "Submit" button which sends the form in to the CGI. In its simplest form, you can use
SUBMIT and no other attributes for the
<INPUT ...> tag:
| this code |
produces this |
<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">
name: <INPUT NAME="realname"><BR>
email: <INPUT NAME="email"><P>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
|
|
You can customize the text used for the button using the
VALUE attribute:
| this code |
produces this |
<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">
name: <INPUT NAME="realname"><BR>
email: <INPUT NAME="email"><P>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Send It!">
</FORM>
|
|
You may sometimes find that you want to have more than one submit button on a form. If you give each button the same name, but different

<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">
