How do I add a submit button and create a form for my Dreamweaver web page? -

Hi Janine,

I have Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I wanted to know how to work the submit button. I don’t know how to receive the information that people fill out on the form. Could you tell me how to make that work so I can look at the information? Also, I was wondering in your opinion, out of every kind of web programming language there is, what is the best to learn?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Although you can create the HTML for forms in Dreamweaver easily, forms require processing on a server, and that adds quite a bit of complexity and the need for programming. As a result, many people use forms services, such as this one by adobe: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/home.html

As for programming languages, it really depends on what you plan to do and who you plan to work with, but after HTML, CSS, and Javascript, the most popular web programming languages these days are PHP, Java, and .NET.

Hope that helps and I wish you all the best,

Janine
