Forms and processing

by davoud . Updated 20 years, 11 months ago

O.K…I am gonna start working on an online registration form which will include a user name, password and other information as well as a code that the user will have to enter it in the appropriate box (this is because of preventing registrations by a software). The code will be different each time a user visit the registration page.

I know how to make a form, but I have the following questions:

1-I would like to know how I can add that code to my html.

2-In general how the form will be processed and what I should add to my html to process the form.( I guess I have to add a CGI script but how and where in html or serverside maybe? )

3-If for example one of the boxes has left blank, user name and/or password are not correct, how the form will handle it? Will Javascript take care of it? if yes, Is there any sample javascript?

4-what is the best online source of learning the whole this procedure?

5- Is there anything on the server side too which needs to be there to process the whole thing or it is all client side (html)?
