In addition to form
fields, you can also insert buttons for your visitors to click on.
Remember that design mode means you can edit your buttons while normal
mode lets you test your buttons.

Modifying properties
for these fields is the same as modifying the properties for form
fields: enter design mode and then click the Properties button ( ) on the
Web Tools toolbar. The pane that you will see will be the same; it will
have a column for the property name and another for that property’s
value.
