Ask HN: How do i make a form usable?

1 pointsby redxbloodabout 11 years ago
Okay, I built my own webpage, but i have a form where users fill in data (name, address, etc) and then they click a "submit" button. I understand i need another language besides HTML and CSS to make the submit actually happen. I've heard of javascript libraries such as Node.js and jQuery, though sincerely i have no idea if they are what i'm looking for. What should i learn next in order to make my form functional?

If you just need to get some data - maybe use something like this:<p><a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/87809?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;drive&#x2F;answer&#x2F;87809?hl=en</a><p><a href="http://www.wufoo.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wufoo.com&#x2F;</a><p>If you want to develop it all yourself, you&#x27;ll need someplace for the submitted form data to go. This means building some software that resides on a server ... so you&#x27;ll want to learn Ruby or Python or PHP or something like that to process the submitted data.<p>There&#x27;s lots of online educational resources. Maybe check out <a href="http://www.codecademy.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codecademy.com&#x2F;</a> where they&#x27;ll step you through the basics of building a webpage.
