Background Information
Survey forms are a way for visitors to interact with a site. There are many types of input elements that can be used to collect the data from the user. Text inputs allow the user to enter free text items such as a name or email address. Radio buttons are for single selection choices. Check box groups allow the user to select multiple options.
Select lists provide a list of items that the user can scroll through to make a selection. Text areas hold text that requires multiple lines rather than a single line.
Forms always need a submit button. When users press this button the form is submitted to the web server. A reset button allows the user to reset the form in case of a mistake. All of the elements and attributes on a form work together to format data that can be sent back to the server for processing.
