A webbot tag appears in your forms code when you use FrontPage Web components. These components are built-in FrontPage objects that are evaluated and executed when an author saves a page or, in some cases, when a user browses to the page. FrontPage components generate HTML, or, in some cases, client-side or server-side script code.

The following are a few webbot code-generating components that are related to forms:

• Confirmation Field component   At run-time, Confirmation Field components are replaced with the contents of fields that have been filled out by a site visitor. You can use these components to show users the information they have entered in the form fields (such as their names or mailing addresses), so that they can confirm its accuracy.
• Discussion Form Handler   The Discussion Form Handler allows you to set up a discussion Web page. The Discussion Form Handler collects information from a form, formats it into an HTML page, and then adds the page to a table of contents and to a text index. The Discussion Form Handler gathers information from the form and stores it in a format that you specify, such as HTML or ASCII text.
• Registration Form Handler   The Registration Form Handler allows you to automatically register users for access to a service. The Registration component adds the user to the authentication databases of the service. It then gathers information from the form and stores it in a format that you specify, such as HTML or ASCII text. You can access the Registration component from the Form Properties dialog box.
• Save Results Form Handler    The Save Results Form Handler gathers information from a form and stores it in a format that you specify, such as HTML or ASCII text. When you submit the form, the Save Results Form Handler appends the form information to a specified file in the specified format. You can access the Save Results Form Handler from the Form Properties dialog box.
