<html> <head></head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <h1>A Simple Guestbook</h1> <form method="post" action="first.cgi"> <h4>Name</h4> <p><input name="name" type="text" size="50" value="Random Person"> <h4>Email</h4> <p><input name="email" type="text" size="50" value="someone@someplace.com.au"> <h4>Your Comments</h4> <p> <textarea name="comment" rows="3" cols="50" wrap="virtual"> Enter text here... </textarea> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" value="Clear Form"> </form> </body></html>
