Inserting text fields
Probably the most commonly used form element is the text field. The text field allows users to input text for form submittal. There are three flavors of the text field: the Input text field, Password text field, and Textarea element. The Input text field is used for capturing a single line of text and is usually used for names, addresses, and anything else that the user must type themselves that fits on one line. The Password text field hides the text that is being typed by the user, but otherwise submits text just like any other Input text field. The Textarea field allows users to submit as many lines of text as they require and is primarily used for commenting or contact forms where the user needs to submit a larger request. Although you can select the text elements in Dreamweaver and change them from one text field type to the other, Dreamweaver gives us individual icons to insert the text element of choice, so the process is greatly simplified.
