Form Controls

This pull-down menu enables you to insert the following form elements in your publication:

  • Textbox - Use a textbox to provide only one line for typing information.

  • Text Area - Use a text area to provide several lines for typing information.

  • Check Box - Use a checkbox to present a yes/no choice. If you add several checkboxes to present a group of related but independent choices, visitors can click any number of checkboxes from the group.

  • Option Button - Use a group of option buttons to present multiple choices. Visitors can only select one option button (choice) within the group. You can have more than one group of option buttons per form or page. Create a group by using the same label for each option button in the group.

  • List Box - Use a list box to present a group of items in a list. Users can scroll to select from one or any number of choices in the list box. You determine the available choices and the number that may be selected when you set the properties of the list box.

  • Submit - You must include a submit command button on every form. This button allows visitors to send you their form data. You can rename the button.

HTML Code Fragment

Using your own HTML code fragment, you can add objects, such as counters and scrolling marquees, or scripts, such as VBScript, to your Web site. Code fragments are also available on the Web and from other sources, but you should be aware of the security risks outlined in the security note below if you use code from other sources.

Security Note:  If you use an HTML code fragment from an unknown source, it may cause performance or security problems for your Web site. For example, your Web pages might not load properly. Publisher does not check HTML code fragments for accuracy or security. If you are copying and pasting an HTML code fragment that is not your own, make sure that it is from a trusted source.

Web Page Options

This button opens the Web Page Options dialog. .
