Using dynamic content in forms and database updates

HTML forms provide a means of creating various entry areas on an HTML page and defining buttons that, when pressed in the browser, will send the contents of the form to a Web server for processing. The entry areas defined by HTML include text boxes, multiline text areas, check boxes, radio buttons, labels, password fields (which do not display the characters on the screen but still send them in clear text on the Internet), pop-up menus, and hidden text fields (which do not display on the form at all).
