Sample Contact & Order Forms
I can design contact and order forms that are made in Dreamweaver, JavaScript, or Flash. The following is a screenshot of an order form in Flash that I created as a homework assignment. The image below is embedded into the webpage as a Flash file, so mouseover it to interact.
This is another Flash form that was used as a pop-up window for ordering portraits from a gallery. The image below is embedded into the webpage as a Flash file, so mouseover it to interact.
This is a screenshot of an online registration form for a dance studio. This form is particularly long, but it illustrates how forms can be used to collect as much information as you like. In this case the website owner is also using the form to collect emergency contact information for minors enrolling in classes and as a legal waiver of liability notice for those enrolling online.
For the dance studio site above, I have complete control over the order form to make it blend into the color scheme of the site because her hosting company has CGI scripts included as part of her hosting package. CGI scripts are special pieces of code written in a web programming language, such as Perl, that take the information provided by the website form (when completed and submitted) and then send that information to the owner of the website, usually via email notifications. Because these scripts are available as part of her hosting package, I can create forms in Dreamweaver that blend into her site perfectly, and then add a tiny snippet of code to the webpage that tells the form where to go find the CGI Script needed to process the form.
My hosting company does not provide CGI scripts to process forms as part of my hosting package. The form shown below was created using a pre-fab form builder program provided by my hosting company.
I recently finished a class in Perl scripting, where I learned to create and install Perl CGI scripts. I will be adding several samples of custom forms scripted in Perl to this page soon.
This following is a series of screenshots of a three page shopping cart system that is dynamically driven by cookies generated in JavaScript. It was created as part of a final project for a JavaScript class.
