Navform CGI Sample Form

This is an example form for using the navform cgi program on www.uaf.edu. The navform cgi allows a webauthor to include a small form in his/her page(s) which allows the client to select a URL to jump to. This can be done using a SELECT tag for a dropdown menu of URLs, CHECKBOX, or RADIO buttons. Multiple selections are not handled, so the input must render down to a single URL entry.

The navform program expects one variable, "url", which is expected to contain a valid URL. The "url" variable may be up to 256 characters in length.

By creating a file which has just the HTML code needed for the form, you can easily copy and paste the form into all of your documents, should you wish to do so. Use your browser's "View Source" capability to examine the source HTML of this document, and the included comments will identify the necessary section (as well as other useful details).

Note: This facility is not intended to replace the "Location" ("GOTO" or "Destination") box in browsers, so it is requested that this not be used with open INPUT tags. Please limit this to tags which will permit users to select from a list that you, the author, supply.
