Chapter 12. Forms

A website is a great way to broadcast a message, announce a new product, post late-breaking news, or just rant about the state of the world. But that’s all one-way communication, which you may find a bit limiting. You may be curious to get some feedback from your audience. Or you may want to build your business by selling your product online, and you need a way to gather vital stats from customers. If you want to receive information as well as deliver it, it’s time to add forms to your web design repertoire (see Figure 12-1 for a simple example). Whatever type of information you need to collect on your site, Dreamweaver’s form objects make the task easy.
