What do they mean by copy and paste html on web page?

I am building my website for the first time and i am wanting to add a web form. I have installed the cgi/php script in my public html dir. I am new to this and do not understand what they mean by paste the html script script to your web page.





Can anyone please tell me from scratch how i do this without the jargon? If you could begin with the script from the public folder. Where do i go from there so i create the form i want. Step by step instructions would be appreciated a great deal.





Thank you.

go to that website, they will host your form for free. Once you understand how to do it. It'll be easier to create a form yourself.
Reply:it's not easy to tell when I don't know what php script you are running and what you want to place in.


usually what they mean is: take html code (from new file) and paste (in existing file)where you want it to appeare.

Reply:Sure, what they are saying is you can open and highlight then right click on the highlighted section and choose copy. Then go to the html source code in your editor program of choice and paste in your php source code.





Keep in mind if you are doing this with php you will need to save the file with a .php extension not a htm or html extension. PHP is a server side language so you will need to have it supported by your web server as well.





If your very new to web design I would suggest playing with embedding JavaScript to HTML first as that can be tested with a local browser.





You should know (x)HTML and CSS before learning JavaScript anyhow. You should also know JavaScript prior to PHP but that is not as important. You need a strong foundation to build the site on.





Hope that helps
