4.4.1. Form Elements
You can include form elements like text-box, text-area, radio button, check box, password box and buttons in your web page using the form elements. The important part of a form element is the concept of the name/value pairs. When the information is sent to the server, it is sent two parts: first an identifier, or name, and then the actual data. For example, in a text box with a name like Firstname where the user has typed John, the data will be sent to the server as Firstname = John.
Form elements can be created using the <INPUT> tag. For example to create a text box you have to do the following:
To create a text box:
- Inside the FORM area of your HTML document type the <INPUT TYPE = “text”
- Give the text box a name by adding NAME= “name”. When the data is sent to the server, the information entered into this text box will be identified by the name.
- If desired define the size of the box using SIZE = “n”, (default value of n is 20 characters).
- Finish the definition of the text box by typing>
