This week in Exploring the Internet we had to go to www.jotform.com and create a feedback form. Jotforms was very easy to use. Basically, all you have to do is drop and drag the elements you want and then type in the information you want to display. The great thing about this application is you don’t need to know HTML coding to use this service. When you’re done you can grab the coding and paste it on your page. The basic services are free but you can also pay to upgrade to a professional or premium service.
Then we worked on creating a from from scratch. To do that we used HTML tags. Once you know which HTML tags to use, it’s fairly easy. The only problem comes when you want to enter a long string of data. If you want a drop down menu with all the months, the days of the week, and years, you have to do each by hand, one at a time. This can get very tedious, especially when entering the years. This is when a drag and drop service like Jotform comes in handy.
We had to use the forms on our collogues Web pages to give them some feedback. I've had a few forms in my email box. Most seem to like my website. I was told it was clean and organized. The only constructive criticism was to change the font on my h2 titles to more define the letters. Thanks all!
