how are fields used in a form and what sort of documentation would it be used in?

Answer 1

Fields in a form, isn't that like when they ask you for your:

Title
Name
D/O/B
Address

etc...

Then if so any questionaire would have them

Answer 2

Some context to the question would be helpful, Pedro. Are you talking about HTML? If so, the fields are the things that accept user input. They are things like text boxes, drop down lists, radio buttons and the like. The form will consist mostly of labels and fields - the labels telling the user what information to put in the fields. When the form is submitted, then, the code from the following page pulls information out of the fields and uses it for whatever nefarious purpose the programmer had in mind.

"What sort of documentation would it be used in"? Again, if we're talking HTML, the only interpretation I can give this question is how you would document the fields. This can be done in two ways: first off, you give each field a name and an ID which are used to identify the information when it's referenced on the submittal page. You can also use HTML comments (as you would anywhere) to document what the form is used for, what the fields are, and anything else you think it might be useful for people to know. It's also true that the form itself will be given a name and an ID to make it possible to use multiple forms on a single page and still be able to tell them apart. Same comment on the comments.

If you aren't talking about HTML, then ignore this.
