Adding Dynamic Content 257
A form's functionality only becomes active when your Web site is published
(of course you can still preview your forms from within WebPlus, see
Previewing your Web site on p. 321). When a web visitor enters data into, or
selects a form option, the data will be sent back to a chosen destination when
the form is submitted.
JavaScript can be used to allow interactivity in your Web forms. It drives
formatting,
validation, calculations, and actions—all key functions in Web-
based form development.
Where is data sent?
After submission, form data can be sent to one of the following:
• an email address (of the Web developer).
• a script file (stored locally or remotely); this could write text to a text file
or into a server database.
• Serif Web Resources; for transit of form data to your email (via Serif).
As is standard in Web form management, it is possible to set the encoding
type, target window/frames, submission methods (POST or GET) can be used.
