Creating Forms
FrontPage offers numerous types of forms so that you can collect information from visitors to your site. You can start from scratch and create the form by adding information fields to a blank form, or you can use one of the wizard templates. When you first create a form, FrontPage inserts a rectangular box with a perforated line-dash perimeter. Inside this box, you can add everything from check boxes and text fields to list boxes and submit buttons.
