Hey!!
I wondering how I can make a web page with Arduino and the Ethernet shield there I have a text box to write in, and when I write a specific word I control pins on the Arduino ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
I hope someones can help me, because this is something I have wondered about in long time.
Tanks!!!!

I have example server sketches in the playground. It uses text fields. You should be able to modify it to do what you want.

The second example is the smallest as far as memory.
You can also search the forum for zoomkat's server code. His works pretty good.
Simple text box server code.
//zoomkat 12-08-12
//get submit box code
//for use with IDE 1.0
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the \ slash to escape the " in the html or use a '
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84 when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields
//note that the below bug fix may be required

byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(84);; //server port
