Implementing a Contact Form on the MVNHS Site

I've been working on a contact form for the NHS site. It has proven to be much more challenging than I first anticipated. While I could just throw together a simple implementation in an hour or so, that would not serve my purposes. I have read that this type of page is often the target of an attack. I am coding very carefully, attempting to avoid any exploitable code. For example, the other night, I spent probably four hours just importing the user's name. It took so long because I had to do a lot of research, read several specifications of similar length to and including this one: Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax. So far, my work-in-progress form will take the user's name, and the user's choice from a radio button, and return back to him/her the form as it was submitted. It is going to take some time to get the whole thing done. Another reason that I want to do it correctly is because I will be graduating from Mountain View High School this year, and someone else will have to maintain it.

Another thing I worked on this past three-day weekend was a Maintenance Guide for whoever will maintain the site when I'm gone. I have uploaded my current very rough draft of the guide. It still needs a lot of work, some of which will have to wait until the site is completed.
