Forms - Text Box

(by John Kauffman & Charles Carroll)

<INPUT NAME="NameLast"> This will create an input box of a default size and the browser will pass the user input to ASP with the label (identifier) of NameLast.

<INPUT NAME="ZipCode" SIZE="10"> This is not a limit to the number of characters that can be entered. Do not use size as a validation technique to limit verbose users.

<INPUT NAME="State" MaxLength="2"> This controls the maximum number of characters that can be entered.

<INPUT NAME="NameLast" VALUE="Bertrand"> The name of Bertrand will appear when the page is opened and will re-appear if the form is reset.
