CSPP552: Web Programming, Forms part 5

Form values

• Input passed back to the server done with `values'
• Put the value in the tag with the value attribute:

<form method=get>
 Pick one:<br>
 <input type=radio name=foo value=highliner> Metra Highliner<br>
 <input type=radio name=foo value=ssemu> South Shore Line EMU<br>
 <input type=radio name=foo value=fse412> FS E412<br>
 <input type=radio name=foo value=gg1> PRR GG1<br>
 <input type=submit value="Show it">
</form>

• The name attribute of the <input> tag is essential; it must be unique for each for element (radio buttons here make up one element)
• Also note the new attribute for the <form> tag
