<input type=”password”> creates a field specifically for entering passwords.
Example
| <form> <label for=”username”>Username:</label><br> <input type=”text” id=”username” name=”username”><br> <label for=”pwd”>Password:</label><br> <input type=”password” id=”pwd” name=”pwd”> </form> |
<input type=”submit”> establishes a button designated for sending form data to a form-handler.
Typically, the form-handler comprises a server page with a script designed to handle input data.
The specific form-handler is indicated in the action attribute of the form.
Example
| <form action=”/action_page.php”> <label for=”fname”>First name:</label><br> <input type=”text” id=”fname” name=”fname” value=”John”><br> <label for=”lname”>Last name:</label><br> <input type=”text” id=”lname” name=”lname” value=”Doe”><br><br> <input type=”submit” value=”Submit”> </form> |
Should you exclude the value attribute of the submit button, the button will automatically receive a default text.
Example
| <form action=”/action_page.php”> <label for=”fname”>First name:</label><br> <input type=”text” id=”fname” name=”fname” value=”John”><br> <label for=”lname”>Last name:</label><br> <input type=”text” id=”lname” name=”lname” value=”Doe”><br><br> <input type=”submit”> </form> |
<input type=”reset”> creates a reset button that restores all form values to their default settings.
Example
| <form action=”/action_page.php”> <label for=”fname”>First name:</label><br> <input type=”text” id=”fname” name=”fname” value=”John”><br> <label for=”lname”>Last name:</label><br> <input type=”text” id=”lname” name=”lname” value=”Doe”><br><br> <input type=”submit” value=”Submit”> <input type=”reset” value=”Reset”> </form> |
<input type=”radio”> specifies a radio button, which allows the user to choose only one option from a limited selection.
Example
| <p>Choose your favorite Web language:</p> <form> <input type=”radio” id=”html” name=”fav_language” value=”HTML”> <label for=”html”>HTML</label><br> <input type=”radio” id=”css” name=”fav_language” value=”CSS”> <label for=”css”>CSS</label><br> <input type=”radio” id=”javascript” name=”fav_language” value=”JavaScript”> <label for=”javascript”>JavaScript</label> </form> |
