HTML Tutorial 17 - More about HTML forms Video Lecture | HTML Basics- Create a designed webpage from Scratch - Software Development

hey everybody this is Brian if you're
following along this is video 17 in our
HTML tutorial today we're going to be
discussing styles with forms a lot of
people get confused and think that forms
are an entity in themselves but really
you should stylize the content inside of
a form for example you can see that I'm
starting to if I could type create a
table inside of a form now what this
does is allows me to split the
information in a manner that the user
will be able to read and understand what
they're supposed to do for example we
will just simply copy from another page
here I'm cheating for the sake of time
we will just paste a field in here or an
input called first name and then we will
create
label for this get rid of that and
that's our first row we will create
another row with last name
whoops made some redundant work for
myself didn't I and you're going to want
to do some minor stylizing save your
work flip over your webpage refresh and
you can see now you can put like a label
first name and label last name that way
the user can specifically see what
you're trying to get them to fill in
that's pretty typical that's how the
majority of the web pages in the world
are really built it would be helpful if
we put a submit button in there now I
remember the submit always goes before
the end of the form one one thing that
we haven't talked about yet is the text
area the text area is just a big text
box typically this is where you want the
user to enter a lot of information so
we're going to go ahead and just paste
one in here and you can see it's just
it's the start tag text area give it a
name you also going to give it the
number of rows to display and the number
of columns
remember rows go across columns go up
and down and then the value or text that
you want to display and then give it an
in tag of text area well break that up
so it's a little easier for you to
understand so you're starting the text
area you're putting the information you
want inside of it and you're ending it
and let's put a couple more hard returns
between that and the submit button
now you can see we have a table which
contains our first name and last name
plus some text - explaining what we're
supposed to do and we have this very big
text box that we can now type in and it
comes complete with a scroll bar
there's our ever-faithful submit button
I hope you found this tutorial and
entertaining unless I get a lot of
demand for HTML tutorials we're going to
be moving on to visual basic in the next
few tutorials so stick around if you
