Form controls
Each form control is an "intelligent" object which differs from other WebPlus
objects. They are intelligent because they can store visitor input and pass it on to
a central location during form submission. Controls can be moved as for other
objects but cannot have colors or transparency applied, borders adjusted, or
resized.
A range of form controls are available from within the Form Wizard or directly
from the Web Objects toolbar's Form flyout. You assign an internal unique
name to each field and then set a variety of properties—each form control has its
own set which can be modified.

When to use?
Form Button Use when specifying an action that can be
triggered by a button click. A whole range
of buttons of varying design and function
can be created.
Submit and Reset buttons are
available in the Form wizard. They
perform form submission and clear
all form data, respectively.
Edit Box Use for entering single-line text, numbers,
or a mixture of both. Someone's surname
would be a good example.
