Creating Form-Based Dynamic Elements
In HTML, a form is a container element (one that can contain other elements). Typically, forms contain input elements (such as text fields, radio buttons and checkboxes) to capture user information, a button or active image to submit the form data, as well as display elements such as text and images.In WebObjects Builder, you create form elements by clicking one of the buttons in the Form Elements portion of the switchable toolbar (or using their menu equivalents).
All the form elements you create in the toolbar are dynamic equivalents of standard HTML elements. You can convert any dynamic form element to its static equivalent (and vice versa) by using the Inspector (see "Dynamic and Static Inspectors").
If you add form elements without creating a WOForm first (for example, if you add a text field to an empty page, or if you add form elements outside of the form) WebObjects Builder assumes you want to create a new form and places a <FORM> tag before and a </FORM> tag after the element.
