Designing and Implementing Forms

You can add forms to your site to collect information from site visitors; for example, to survey potential customers, conduct credit-card transactions, have customers register products, or otherwise process information visitors submit.

Using forms, visitors can type in text fields, upload files to your server, and select options using check boxes, radio buttons, and combo boxes. The form tools built into NetObjects Fusion 12 contain the necessary server-side scripts, written in PHP or ASP, used to process your form responses.

You can also use JavaScript or Visual Basic routines with forms. See Working with HTML Directly.
