HTML for sample text field
|
| 2 |
Type your name: <input type="text" name="username" value="nobody" size=20 maxlength=40>
|
| 3 |
What shows on the browser window is
|
| 4 |
Type your name: nobody
|
| 5 |
The typing box is of length 20 characters (default=20) and will scroll up to a max of 40 characters (default=unlimited). The value, size and maxlength fields are optional - "nobody" is the initial value in this case.

| 6 |
What is sent to the CGI program is the name and value pair: username=<whatever the user typed>
|
| 7 |
The password field is the same, except that whatever the user types is not shown, <input type="password" . . .>
|
| 8 |
The hidden field is the same, except that nothing shows on the browser, <input type="hidden" . . .>. This is a technique for one CGI program to pass data to another.
