Forms |
|
| You would use a form in much the same way you would use a table(by putting the <input> tags inside the <form> and </form> tags). | |
|
To use a form you must first understand the different types of input fields. Here is a list of the fields and their description: |
|
| <input type="text"> | This is a text box: |
| <input type="password"> | Like a text box, but does not show the letters: |
| <input type="button"> | looks like this: |
| <input type="submit"> | Like a button, but submits the information to a cgi script: |
| <input type="checkbox"> | Looks like this: |
| <input type="radio"> | Displays a radio button: |
|
The second most important attribute is the value attribute. Typing <input type="button" value="click me"> gives you: |
|
| The value attribute can be used with all types of input elements, try them out for yourself! | |
Implementing the <input> tag | |
| For some magical reason you can't get information from a form unless you put the elements of your form in the form tag. | |
|
Here is an example form to play with: <form name="frm"> <input type="text" name="txt" value="this is some text" size=30> <input type="button" value="show me what I typed" onclick="javascript:alert(document.frm.txt.value);"> </form> GO TO THE TESTBED! |
| You have now finished the HTML Dojo! |
