To add a form to your wiki page you create your form on an external HTML page and then use an IFRAME code inside the "Other Widget" to show it on your wiki page.
This tutorial IS NOT meant to teach users how to write HTML code for forms. It is assumed you already know how to do that. This tutorial walks you through the steps for inserting it into your wiki page.
1. Create your form on an external HTML page using whatever options you wish to make available to your users and using processing scripts as needed.
2. Open your wiki page edit window and use the Widget tool, choosing the "other widget" option.
3. When the widget option window appears type in your IFRAME code with appropriate size parameters to access the external page you created that has your form on it.
The IFRAME code I used is telling the browser to load the external page located at "http://url2myform.com" inside an iframe that is 400 pixels wide by 650 pixels high. It's also providing a line of text that users will see if their browser doesn't support IFRAME's.
Note: This page is a fake page with a sample form located on it. I built the form so it asks the user to make a choice and then hit the submit button. It doesn't do anything else. But I could have built the form to ask the user if they wanted to join my newsletter mailing list and then have them tell me their email address.

| The IFRAME code for the below form looks something like this: |
| <IFRAME SRC=http://url2myform.com WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="650"> If you can see this, your browser doesn't understand IFRAME. </IFRAME> |
