I'm still confused, I'm afraid. I have read that you must do it in one
of those two ways. I'm happy enough doing that, no problem, but would
like to appreciate the technicalities more.
I've never written any server side code to process these forms (maybe
this is where my problem lies!) I have, however, written protocols in
C++ and other languages.
If I wanted a custom data input via a server, to a database or file,
say, with perhaps some custom data manipulation and/or checking, then
I'd need to ensure that the server knew what to do with my data.
(That's what I mean by the design of the page.)
If I was writing my own server script to accept the data from my page,
then wouldn't I just be able to take a default route for the submit key
in my example code (i.e. no data), and only action the reset button as
necessary if it were present?
I know I'd be able to do this in C++ easily. It puzzles me that the two
ways you reference are cited as the only way of doing it. There may be
other reasons I'm not aware of, I guess?
