Using forms

Some Web pages, such as search sites, contain “forms” which

require you to enter information using “controls”, e.g. radio

buttons and text boxes.

Forms can contain any of the following controls:

• Text entry boxes: to use these, tap once on the box, then

start typing.

• Password boxes: these are similar to text entry boxes, but

the characters you type in are disguised for security reasons.

• Lists: these contain a list of options displayed in a box. Tap

on the arrows on either side of the box, or use the arrow

keys to move through the list.

• Radio buttons and check boxes: these are the same as

the controls used in netBook dialogs. Simply tap on the

appropriate box or button to select the option(s) you want.

• ‘Clear’ and ‘Reset’ buttons : many forms have a Clear or

Reset button, which resets all the form’s items to their

original state.

• ‘Submit’ button: most forms have a Submit or Proceed

button that sends the information you have entered in the

form.

Entering information in a form may be slow until the page

has finished loading.
