Html form all code

HTML Form Code

You can use the following HTML code to create a form within your HTML document.

Example Form with No Styles

This example uses raw HTML — no CSS has been applied.

Same Form Styled with Top-Aligned Labels

This is the same form, but this one has CSS applied to ensure the labels appear above the input fields. Some other light styling has also been appled.

Left-Aligned Labels

This form has left-aligned labels.

Right-Aligned Labels

This enquiry form has right-aligned labels.

Inline Form

This form has its elements displayed inline.

Accessible Compact Form

Therefore, we use a little CSS trick to «hide» the label from visual browsers, while still presenting them to screen readers.

Bootstrap Forms

Bootstrap includes a bunch of components for dealing with forms. Here are two.

Responsive Grid System

You can combine Bootstrap forms with Bootstrap grids to allow you more control over the layout of your forms. This is particularly useful for developing responsive forms.

Validation Styles & Feedback Icons

You can also take advantage of Bootstrap’s validation styles and feedback icons so that you can provide visual feedback to the user based on the data they enter.

Form-Associated Elements

Here are the form-associated elements.

HTML Forms

An HTML form is used to collect user input. The user input is most often sent to a server for processing.

Example

The Element

The HTML element is used to create an HTML form for user input:

The element is a container for different types of input elements, such as: text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, submit buttons, etc.

All the different form elements are covered in this chapter: HTML Form Elements.

The Element

The HTML element is the most used form element.

An element can be displayed in many ways, depending on the type attribute.

Type	Description
	Displays a single-line text input field
	Displays a radio button (for selecting one of many choices)
	Displays a checkbox (for selecting zero or more of many choices)
	Displays a submit button (for submitting the form)
	Displays a clickable button

All the different input types are covered in this chapter: HTML Input Types.

Text Fields

The defines a single-line input field for text input.

Example

A form with input fields for text:

This is how the HTML code above will be displayed in a browser:

Note: The form itself is not visible. Also note that the default width of an input field is 20 characters.

The Element

Notice the use of the element in the example above.

The tag defines a label for many form elements.

The element is useful for screen-reader users, because the screen-reader will read out loud the label when the user focuses on the input element.

The element also helps users who have difficulty clicking on very small regions (such as radio buttons or checkboxes) — because when the user clicks the text within the element, it toggles the radio button/checkbox.

The for attribute of the tag should be equal to the id attribute of the element to bind them together.

Radio Buttons

The defines a radio button.

Radio buttons let a user select ONE of a limited number of choices.

Example

A form with radio buttons:

Choose your favorite Web language:

This is how the HTML code above will be displayed in a browser:

Choose your favorite Web language:

Checkboxes

The defines a checkbox.

Checkboxes let a user select ZERO or MORE options of a limited number of choices.

Example

This is how the HTML code above will be displayed in a browser:

I have a bike
I have a car
I have a boat

The Submit Button

The defines a button for submitting the form data to a form-handler.

The form-handler is typically a file on the server with a script for processing input data.

The form-handler is specified in the form’s action attribute.

Example

A form with a submit button:

This is how the HTML code above will be displayed in a browser:

The Name Attribute for

Notice that each input field must have a name attribute to be submitted.

If the name attribute is omitted, the value of the input field will not be sent at all.

Example

This example will not submit the value of the «First name» input field:

: The Form element

The HTML element represents a document section containing interactive controls for submitting information.

Try it

It is possible to use the :valid and :invalid CSS pseudo-classes to style a element based on whether the elements inside the form are valid.

Attributes

This element includes the global attributes.

Comma-separated content types the server accepts.

Note: This attribute has been deprecated and should not be used. Instead, use the accept attribute on elements.

Space-separated character encodings the server accepts. The browser uses them in the order in which they are listed. The default value means the same encoding as the page. (In previous versions of HTML, character encodings could also be delimited by commas.)

A nonstandard attribute used by iOS Safari that controls how textual form elements should be automatically capitalized. autocapitalize attributes on a form elements override it on . Possible values:

• none : No automatic capitalization.
• sentences (default): Capitalize the first letter of each sentence.
• words : Capitalize the first letter of each word.
• characters : Capitalize all characters — that is, uppercase.

Indicates whether input elements can by default have their values automatically completed by the browser. autocomplete attributes on form elements override it on . Possible values:

• off : The browser may not automatically complete entries. (Browsers tend to ignore this for suspected login forms; see The autocomplete attribute and login fields.)
• on : The browser may automatically complete entries.

The name of the form. The value must not be the empty string, and must be unique among the form elements in the forms collection that it is in, if any.

Controls the annotations and what kinds of links the form creates. Annotations include external , nofollow , opener , noopener , and noreferrer . Link types include help , prev , next , search , and license . The rel value is a space-separated list of these enumerated values.

Attributes for form submission

The following attributes control behavior during form submission.

The URL that processes the form submission. This value can be overridden by a formaction attribute on a , , or element. This attribute is ignored when method=»dialog» is set.

If the value of the method attribute is post , enctype is the MIME type of the form submission. Possible values:

• application/x-www-form-urlencoded : The default value.
• multipart/form-data : Use this if the form contains elements with type=file .
• text/plain : Useful for debugging purposes.

This value can be overridden by formenctype attributes on , , or elements.

The HTTP method to submit the form with. The only allowed methods/values are (case insensitive):

• post : The POST method; form data sent as the request body.
• get (default): The GET ; form data appended to the action URL with a ? separator. Use this method when the form has no side effects.
• dialog : When the form is inside a , closes the dialog and causes a submit event to be fired on submission, without submitting data or clearing the form.

This value is overridden by formmethod attributes on , , or elements.

This Boolean attribute indicates that the form shouldn’t be validated when submitted. If this attribute is not set (and therefore the form is validated), it can be overridden by a formnovalidate attribute on a , , or element belonging to the form.

Indicates where to display the response after submitting the form. It is a name/keyword for a browsing context (for example, tab, window, or iframe). The following keywords have special meanings:

• _self (default): Load into the same browsing context as the current one.
• _blank : Load into a new unnamed browsing context. This provides the same behavior as setting rel=»noopener» which does not set window.opener .
• _parent : Load into the parent browsing context of the current one. If no parent, behaves the same as _self .
• _top : Load into the top-level browsing context (i.e., the browsing context that is an ancestor of the current one and has no parent). If no parent, behaves the same as _self .

This value can be overridden by a formtarget attribute on a , , or element.

Examples

form method="get"> label> Name: input name="submitted-name" autocomplete="name" /> label> button>Savebutton> form> form method="post"> label> Name: input name="submitted-name" autocomplete="name" /> label> button>Savebutton> form> form method="post"> fieldset> legend>Do you agree to the terms?legend> label>input type="radio" name="radio" value="yes" /> Yeslabel> label>input type="radio" name="radio" value="no" /> Nolabel> fieldset> form>
