HTML Forms - Part 1

In this tutorial, I will be teaching you about forms. Forms are used to take information. As an example, you will most likely have to fill out a form when you Register on a network. This information will then be sent to a database and create your account. It all revolves around naming your inputs though, otherwise, the db (database) doesn't know which is the username and which is the password etc....

Is there a way to make a file uploader using HTML forms?

[asib12]

You must also use a web scripting language which has such capabilities. HTML alone can not do so.

[RuneScapeResearch]

how do you make the information that is being submitted go to your email?

[asib12]

You need to use a web scripting language that has email capabilities (i.e. Python or PHP).

The 'desktop' looks like Windows Vista

@Olemassacre no, you can't use this in css :)

You need to zoom out so the entire screen is visible. I have to keep replaying parts to check that my information is correct because I can only see the small area which you are working on at the time.

Other than that great video it's been a huge help for me thanks!

[WebDevelopmentTuts]

another nice and helpful video!

Hey man. Can you use this in CSS? Or is it better to use it en html?

[inuasha880]

@asib12 no you can make a link that will send it to an email with html

[waroftheworldseu]

By using the size attribute you are effectively using HTML to style the form. This is a bad practice. Better to use a class="firstname" and then use CSS to set the size of the input box.

can u get the info into an excel somfing like that

[CrazyJ114]

@ITIMMYII

well, that doesn't upload it. It only browses for it.

[ITIMMYII]

@CrazyJ114 You Could Use :

input type="file" name="file"

[plobez]

You'll need PHP for that.
