Hey,
I don't actually knows what u mean about webform but i hope i'm right about my thought.
If you mean to have a registration form on your website,then i think u have 2 learn html form.BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE.
1)Lets say u want your form to collect data from a user such as:-
-username
-firstname.
-lastname.
-select password.
-verify password.
-a comment box.
2)u want the user to click a submit button which will take any of the following function:-
*submit user details to a PHP page. OR
*submit user details to an ASP page.
*triggers a javascript function
THEN
3)display a welcome page that addresses the user according to details submitted.
***THE HTML FORM CODE***
<form action='submit.php'method='post'onsubmit='check.js'>
<br/>
Choose Username:
<br/>
<input type='text'id='uname'/>
<br/>
Firstname:
<br/>
<input type='text'id='fname'/>
<br/>
Lastname:
<br/>
<input type='text'id='lname'/>
<br/>
New password:
<br/>
<input type='password'id='npword'/>
<br/>
Verify Password:
<br/>
<input type='password'id='vpword'/>
<br/>
Comments
<br/><textarea cols='8'rows='9'id='comment'>whatever u want to appear in d comment box should be here
</textarea><br/><input type='submit'value='continue'/></form>
i will post the php,javascript code soon. Hope this works.

**The HTML FORM Code**
<html><body>
<form action='submit.php'
method='post'
onsubmit='check.js'>
<br/>
Choose username:
<br/>
<input type='text'
name='uname'/>
<br/>
Firstname:
<br/>
<input type='text'
name='fname'/>
<br/>
Lastname:
<br/>
<input type='text'
name='lname'/>
<br/>
New Password:
<br/>
<input type='password'
name='npword'/>
<br/>
Comments:
<textarea cols='8'
rows='9'
name='comment'>
Whatever u want to appear in d comment box should be here.
</textarea>
<br/>
<input type='submit'
value='continue'/>
</form>

From the code above,you found some terms appearing several times such as:
1)name: this is element attribute which makes every tag to be d/f frm another, even though they have thesame tag name which in the other hand will make the php/javascript file to identify it.
In this example, I use the name attribute for two elements:
a)<input>
b)<textarea>

a)<input>: this element tells the browser that it needs an input depending on the attribute value(type)
-type: this is an input attribute which define what type of input should be available. We have the following type values:
*<input type='text'>
*<input type='password'>
*<input type='file'>
*<input type='radio'>
*<input type='checkbox'>
in this example i use 3 types of type attribute value:
*password: this makes the browser to identify that the input should be encypted as password.
*text: this makes the input to appear as a normal text.
*submit: this creates a submit button & tells the browser that the form should be submitted depending on the value of the <form> action attribute value.
Here the action attribute value of the form is 'submit.php'. Clicking on d submit button, it will send the content of the form to submit.php
b)<textarea>: this create a box in the form of a large input box. The size of the box is defined/created by the following two attributes:
*rows: this defines the width of the<textarea> element. In this example I use 9.
*cols: this defines the height of the <textarea> which in this example is 8.

N.B: Anything btw d <textarea> and </textarea> element will appear in the box b4 editing.
</textarea> is the closing tag for <textarea>, some element are empty i.e without closing tags such element you use the / sign b4 the > sign. E.g <br/>, <input type='text'/>.
2)<br/>: this tag is refer to as break, it makes the statement to move exactly one line below the current statement.
*dhtml, i hope d poster understand something
Re: How Can I Create A Webform On My Site? by Nobody: 11:49am On Feb 21, 2010
that is better, because the poster seem to be a newbie. Next time try to wrap your codes with <quote></quote>

<html><body>
<form action='submit.php' method='post' onsubmit='check.js'><br/>
Choose username: <br/>
<input type='text' name='uname'/><br/>
Firstname: <br/>
<input type='text' name='fname'/><br/>
Lastname: <br/>
<input type='text' name='lname'/>
<br/>
New Password: <br/>
<input type='password'
name='npword'/>
<br/>
Comments:
<textarea cols='8' rows='9' name='comment'>Whatever u want to appear in d comment box should be here.</textarea>
<br/>
<input type='submit' value='continue'/>
</form>
