form in a table cell

blelisa · #1 19-Aug-2003, 08:14

I have an existing table , and in one of the cells I need to enter a form where the visitor will enter user name and password. I have everything in the cell but how do I enter the code to tell it where to validate the input?
Thanks

Hello blelisa,

Just point it (the form) to the web page (most likely a server-side script) that will process the information.

A really simple example:

HTML Code:


<!-- Let's say this is an excerpt off index.html -->
<body>
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <!-- and this is the form that sends the info
           to a script / another webpage -->
      <form method="post" action="form_processor.php" name="my_very_first_form">
        <input />
        <input />
        <input />
      </form>
    </td>
    <td>Another cell</td>
  </tr>

Where form_processor.php is a script / web page. It is also normal to send the form information back to the same page.

If you need detailed help, feel free to post your existing code describing what you intend to do.
