Forms are used to collect information from people visiting your web site. The information is then usually sent to someone via email. Forms allow you to have users complete a set of information and can help guarantee you get the needed information.

FrontPage 2002 (XP) has added several new features which make creating accessible forms much easier. The examples on how to make forms accessible have been done in FrontPage 2002 for this reason. Unfortunately, FrontPage 2000 does not contain all of the same features and will require hand coding in HTML to create accessible forms.
