To use forms, you must have a CGI script in the server.

This is not true. PHP, for example, is not CGI. I am using a form right now to enter this message and it is not going to be processed by a CGI script.

Though it would probably be tricky to fully explain this topic of forms while still being friendly to beginner level users, it would be worse to give misinformation. I suggest changing the semantics to convey that CGI is one way but not the only way. Perhaps even saying something more broad like:

To use forms you must have a server-side script, such as Perl CGI or PHP.

I am choosing not to edit the page but rather to just post to the Talk section.

Can't forms also submit via email? -- Tarquin 10:01 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)

Correct it, if you justify it. It´s better for all ;)

This page is only appropriate for HTML 4; the phrase 'HTML tag' can equally apply to valid tags in XHTML 1.1, for example, which are quite different to the ones listed here. It might be better to have these definitions in subpages, such as HTML tag/4.01 and so on. I also wonder whether it's redundant to list all the tags here in light of the official W3C specs. --Earle Martin
