  <TITLE>Fill-Out Form Example #1</TITLE>
  <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" vlink="#FF0000">
  <H1>Fill-Out Form Example #1</H1>
  
  This is a very simple fill-out form example. <P>
  
  <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="lib-ch-example-form-form.cgi">
  
  A single text entry field goes here: <INPUT NAME="entry"> <P>
  
  Note that it has no default value. <P>
  
  To submit the query, press this button: <INPUT TYPE="submit"
  VALUE="Submit Query">. <P>
  
  </FORM>
  
  That's it. <P>
  
  Things you may want to note: <P>
  
  <UL>
  <LI> Characters like "&amp;", "%", and "" in the text typed into the
       text entry field are automatically escaped (into hex form: a
       percent sign followed by a two-digit hex value corresponding to
       the ASCII value of the character) when the query is constructed.
       For example, the string "&amp;%" becomes "%26%25%24".
  <LI> By default, an <CODE>INPUT</CODE> tag corresponds to a text entry
       field.  The <CODE>TYPE</CODE> attribute lets you change this --
       the "submit" type indicates a special pushbutton that causes the
       query to be submitted when it's pushed.  Other types are
       demonstrated in the other examples.
  <LI> Because this fill-out form contains only a single text entry
       field, the query can be submitted by pressing return in the text
       entry field (as well as by pressing the "Submit Query" button).
  </UL>
