The HTML page for this project will allow users to subscribe to the intranet newsletter by using the Internet Explorer. The page is a simple form that takes the name, department, and email address of the subscriber and stores them in a database. The database transaction will use IDC. This HTML page utilizes two ActiveX controls—the Label control and the Microsoft PowerPoint Animation Player control—to improve the interaction between the user and the browser. The page you will create was shown earlier, in Figure 6-1. The complete HTML code, along with comments, is shown in Listing 6-1, starting on page 213. The following text describes how to create the HTML code.
