Reviewing the Form

The completed feedback form
After entering values for each of the fields, click the Submit button and then view the page's source. Each
of the fields will now have a
value
attribute that contains the value that was included when the page was
submitted. This is what the server-side code would use to store and/or process the submitted data. I extracted
a portion of this, which is shown in Listing 2-3. I particularly want you to see how the various date/time field
values are formatted. Also notice that the color is stored as a hexadecimal representation of the selected RGB
values.
Listing 2-3.
