Before there was Java, before there was JavaScript, before there was Shockwave or FutureSplash or frames - hell, before there were tables - there were tools built into HTML that let you add interactivity, layer text, and generally differentiate your Web site from a hard-to-read magazine.
Known as forms, they were developed as a uniform system for collecting user input on the Web. But feh! Who cares what they're supposed to do? When I look at pulldown menus, I see cleverly concealed sidebars; radio buttons and checkboxes become visual accents; and scrolling menus make me think, 'Hey, Bill, I got yer floating frame right here.'

Abstract: Before there was Java, before there was JavaScript, before there was Shockwave or FutureSplash or frames - hell, before there were tables - there were tools built into HTML that let you add interactivity, layer text, and generally differentiate your Web site from a hard-to-read magazine.
Known as forms, they were developed as a uniform system for collecting user input on the Web. But feh! Who cares what they're supposed to do? When I look at pulldown menus, I see cleverly concealed sidebars; radio buttons and checkboxes become visual accents; and scrolling menus make me think, 'Hey, Bill, I got yer floating frame right here.'
