Creating job application page, help.

Question

I have a job application document that people are able to type into the correct places.  I was wondering how I could put this into one of my webpages so people can still type into the correct places and when they click submit their filled in application is sent to me.  If there is a way to do this or if there is any alternative for a job application page please respond to this email.  Any help is greatly appreiated.

You'll need to basically re-create the form (I'm assuming it's in Word or PDF format or something similar?) in html using the <form> tag and several <input> tags for the text fields and areas.
Everything for creating the form will be under Insert > Form in DW
First you go to Insert > Form > Form and place the actual <form> tagset that will hold everything. Then you use a combination of input text boxes, text areas, check boxes, radio buttons and more from Insert > Form to get the user inputs placed.
It's relatively straight forward, though getting everything aligned the way you like takes a little more effort. If you poke around online for "Creating forms in Dreamweaver" there are tons of places that give you the basics.
Once you have the page created, that's when you get the server side script and attach your form to it. What you choose for a processing script depends on what your server supports. Most will support PHP, which is what they use in the link I gave you.
