HTML Forms: Form Submit/Clear

These buttons are actually done with Input tags. A RESET button can be used to reset all input values to their defaults, as if no information had been given so far. The SUBMIT button transfers all the form data to the URL specified in the ACTION element.

<Form	method=POST	action="CGI/Menu.cgi">
<Table>
<tr align=left><th>
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Home.">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Library">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Search">
	HTML:
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Head.">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Body.">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Tables">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Forms">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="CGI....">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="DB.....">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="HTTP.">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="Style.">
	<br>
	<input type=submit name=Button value="<">
	<input type=submit name=Button value="X">
	<input type=submit name=Button value=">">
</Table>
</Form>

NAME

If NAME is defined on a SUBMIT button, the form will transmit the contents of the VALUE element, thus allowing you to have multiple SUBMIT buttons. This can provide some very useful techniques, such as Next/Previous buttons on slide sequences, or menu buttons without the disadvantages of graphics.

VALUE

Specifies the text to be displayed on the button. If not defined, a default of "Reset" and "Submit Query" will be displayed on the RESET and SUBMIT buttons, respectively.
