To create checkboxes in a form, use the input element with type set to 'checkbox'. This allows users to select multiple options. For example, if you want to create a breakfast menu with multiple choices, each checkbox can represent a different food item.
<input type="checkbox" name="breakfast" value="bacon">Bacon 🥓<br> <input type="checkbox" name="breakfast" value="eggs">Eggs 🍳<br> <input type="checkbox" name="breakfast" value="pancakes">Pancakes 🥞<br>
The 'textarea' element is used when you want to allow users to input multi-line text, like a comment or a description. You can set the size of the textarea using the 'rows' and 'cols' attributes.
<textarea rows="10" cols="30" name="comment"></textarea>
The 'form' element is used to collect user input and send it to a server. You can use various input elements within a form, such as text fields and buttons, to gather different types of information.
<form method="post" action="http://server1"> Enter your name: <input type="text" name="fname"> <br/> Enter your age: <input type="text" name="age"> <br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>
The 'input' element with type set to 'number' allows users to enter only numeric values. This is useful when you want to restrict the input to numbers, such as for a balance or age field.
<input type="number" name="balance" />
The 'input' element is a versatile element used to create various types of input fields. The type attribute determines the type of input, such as text, password, or checkbox.
<label for="fname">First name:</label> <input type="text" name="fname" id="fname"><br> <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike"> I own a bike
To create a range slider, use the 'input' element with type set to 'range'. This creates a slider control that allows users to select a value from a specified range.
<input type="range" name="movie-rating" min="0" max="10" step="0.1">
The 'select' element is used to create a dropdown list. It contains multiple 'option' elements that represent the different choices available in the dropdown.
<select name="rental-option"> <option value="small">Small</option> <option value="family">Family Sedan</option> <option value="lux">Luxury</option> </select>
To submit a form, use the 'form' element with an action attribute that specifies where to send the form data and a method attribute that specifies the HTTP method to use (like 'GET' or 'POST').
<form action="/index3.html" method="PUT"></form>
The 'input' element with type set to 'text' is used to create a single-line text field. This is the most common input type for entering text.
<input type="text" name="username">
To provide autocomplete functionality, use the 'input' element with a 'datalist'. The 'datalist' element contains 'option' elements that define the possible values for the input.
<input list="ide"> <datalist id="ide"> <option value="Visual Studio Code" /> <option value="Atom" /> <option value="Sublime Text" /> </datalist>
Radio buttons allow users to select one option from a group. Use the 'input' element with type set to 'radio' and ensure all related radio buttons have the same name attribute.
<input name="delivery_option" type="radio" value="pickup" /> <input name="delivery_option" type="radio" value="delivery" />
The 'input' element with type set to 'password' is used for entering passwords. The characters entered are masked to keep them confidential.
<input type="password" name="password" required>
Use the 'required' attribute on an 'input' element to make sure that the field must be filled out before submitting the form.
<input type="text" name="username" required>
The 'max' attribute specifies the maximum value for an input element. For example, you can use it to limit the number input to a maximum value.
<input type="number" max="20">
The 'maxlength' attribute specifies the maximum number of characters that can be entered in an input element.
<input type="text" name="tweet" maxlength="140">
The 'pattern' attribute specifies a regular expression that the input element's value is checked against when the form is submitted.
<input type="text" name="country_code" pattern="[A-Za-z]{3}" title="Three letter country code">
The 'minlength' attribute specifies the minimum number of characters that must be entered in an input element.
<input type="text" name="username" minlength="6">
HTML form validation is used to ensure that all required fields are properly filled out before the form is submitted. This can include ensuring input types match expected data, required fields are filled, and input patterns are matched.
The 'min' attribute specifies the minimum value for an input element. For example, it can be used to set the lowest number that can be selected in a number input field.
<input type="number" name="rating" min="1" max="10">
