Form Tips and Tricks
Now that you have a basic understanding of forms and how you can place them within your website, we'll now focus on a few "tips & tricks" you can use to spice up your forms.
Creating A Default Form Option
The OPTION tag is used to create options listed in a drop down box of a form. You can select a default option, by adding the word "selected" within your OPTION tag.
Keep in mind, if you change the colors of your scrollbars and buttons, make sure your selected colors match your website's color scheme. In addition, always make sure your text is clearly visible through your background colors.
Forms provide you with an excellent alternative to snail mail. Your visitor's information can be instantly processed right over the Internet. This information might include taking orders, collecting customer information, or even allowing your visitors to provide you with feedback. The possibilities are endless.
