areas).

even upload files.
The most important thing to know about forms is that they can't exist in a void; when
you create a form, you must also create a server-based script or application to process the
data submitted from that form. Such scripts and applications often, but not always, use
the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) protocol, and may be written in languages such as
