Forms allow the site visitor to give information and send it to you.
Your web host will need to offer this service.
Forms have two parts:
Labels which define what is to go in the form and can be questions (eg name, or what is your favourite...?)
Text fields: where the visitor writes in words or answers
DW has a Forms menu bar (one of the choices in the blue bar at the top of the page) The choices are icons.
OR you can use Insert from the top, grey bar and follow Form >
see also DW Help: Create an html Form
To insert a form:
Insert > form > form
a red box appears: all your form must be inside this box.
With cursor inside the red box choose insert > form > Text Field.
In menu box that appears fill in ID: a reminder to you, and Label: the words that will appear next to the text field.
Check the radio button to choose whether you want the label before or after the text field.
With the cursor on the next line, add the next field in the same way.
To insert a tabulated form
It is a good idea to first insert a table into the red form box as this will help you line up the labels and the fields.
Insert > table, complete the menu box. Make a table 2 rows x 2 columns
Type the first label into the top left cell of the table and then tab across to the next cell. Here insert a text field as above but do not complete the label section - choose No label tag.
Continue adding labels and text fields - press Tab key on keyboard to get more rows.
Try adding other kinds of fields:
a Text Area is a large Text Field
Format your form using the Properties Inspector bar:
Click into field box and fill in width, etc.
Select the table and format the borders.
Forms can also ask questions and take you to other pages via jump menus.
