You will learn how to put forms on your Web page to accept input from the user, as in the above illustration.
However, be aware that your forms will not work until they are linked to cgi scripts on a Web server. In other words, the forms you create in class are "dummies." To make them functional, you need a "live," online server to host your page, and you need to work with a programmer to write scripts to accept the input from a user, then process the input (e.g. enter it into a database).
