Frequently Asked Questions
- What should the user see after the email is sent?
Some sort of status message saying the message was successfully sent
would be appropriate. Whether this is on a blank screen saying
"Press Back to continue" or on the address book screen is up
to you.
- Absolutely nothing happens when I push a submit button. The
browser doesn't even attempt to run the program again. Nothing.
What's wrong?
Did you remember to create a form on the page before printing out the
input fields, including the submits? Input fields do nothing if
they're not surrounded by <form ...> and </form>
- From whom should the email be sent?
Anything that "makes sense" is acceptable.
username@cs.rpi.edu would be fine, for example.
- Are there any requirement on the lengths on passwords?
The password must be greater than or equal to one character long (ie,
no blank passwords allowed).
