Form reply using a button. HELP!! How do I do that.

[SeekingAnswers2003]

Hi to all,

I'm a newbee at this HTML coding. So bare with me. I'm trying to create a form with some basic questions and multiple answers selection.
At the bottom I have a submit button. I can't make it work. I'm sure there are things I'm skipping.

Can anyone point me to a simple website for me to read on, or can you tell me, step by step what I need to do for this to work.

Thank you.
Daniel.

If I could see some code I could tell you what you are missing.
forms basically are

<form action="page_to_go_to.html" method="post" name="name_your_form">

form elements go here- like, <input> <textarea> <checkbox> all  with names.

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

If you describe what the problem is(i.e. it won't show up on the page, it won't submit, etc), and show some code, then it will be easier to help.

Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

opps, you should close your form at the end after the submit button too
</form>

This should give you an insight on forms and their use in a simple way:

Reasons your submit button might not be working:

1- It's not BETWEEN your [tt]<form></form>[/tt] tags

2- It's not a submit button, but a regular button.
Submit button context: [tt]<input type="submit">[/tt]

3- You have not declared an action attribute in your form.
[tt]<form name="the_form" action="other_page.html">[/tt]
