Content that includes form controls.
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to provide a mechanism that allows users to explicitly request changes of context. The intended use of a submit button is to generate an HTTP request that submits data entered in a form, so it is an appropriate control to use for causing a change of context.
This is a basic example of a form with a submit button.
Example Code:
<form action="http://www.example.com/cgi/subscribe/" method="post"><br />
<p>Enter your e-mail address to subscribe to our mailing list.</p><br />
<label for="address">Enter email address:</label><input type="text"
id="address" name="address" />
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" /><br />
</form> The following example uses a server-side script (specified in the
action attribute) that redirects the user to the requested page.
Example Code:
<form action="http://www.example.com/cgi/redirect/" method="get"><br />
<p>Navigate the site.</p><br />
<select name="dest"><br />
<option value="/index.html">Home</option/><br />
<option value="/blog/index.html">My blog</option/><br />
<option value="/tutorials/index.html">Tutorials</option/><br />
<option value="/search.html">Search</option/><br />
</select><br />
<input type="submit" value="Go to Page" /><br />
</form> Resources are for information purposes only, no endorsement implied.
