+ | || We learnt about some of the '''input''' '''types''' earlier. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now let us learn some other '''form input types.''' | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | || [gedit - MyWebForm.html] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Type: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <label for="dob"> <b> Date of Birth </b> </label> <br/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <input type="date" name="dob"> <br/> | ||
+ | || Let me add a '''field''' for '''Date of Birth''' in the '''registration form'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next to the '''Last name''', type the code as shown. | ||

+ | * '''Date Time-local''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | || We have used the''' input type date''' in this example. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Likewise, we have some other '''input types''' to get '''Date Time''' from the user. | ||
+ | |||
+ | These are the '''date '''and''' time input types''' available in '''HTML.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Explore these on your own. | ||

+ | |||
+ | How will it work? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let us check. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | || [gedit - MyWebForm.html] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Type: | ||
+ | |||

+ | || Highlight Male radio button | ||
+ | || As the '''radio''' '''button''' name is different, the selection is unchanged in the '''Gender field'''. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | || | ||
+ | || Switch back to the '''text editor'''. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | || [gedit - MyWebForm.html] | ||

Slide: Introduction | Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on More on Forms in HTML. |
Slide: Learning Objectives | In this tutorial we will learn about:
|
Slide: Prerequisite |
|
Slide: System Requirements | To record this tutorial, I’m using
However you may use any other editor or browser of your choice. |
Slide: Code Files |
|
Open MyWebForm.html in gedit | Open the file MyWebForm.html which we created earlier in this series, in a text editor. |
Only narration | We learnt about some of the input types earlier.
Now let us learn some other form input types. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
Type: <label for="dob"> Date of Birth </label> <input type="date" name="dob"> |
Let me add a field for Date of Birth in the registration form.
Next to the Last name, type the code as shown. |
Highlight input type="date" | Here I have used the input type date. |
Press Ctrl + S | Save the file. |
Open MyWebForm.html in Firefox | Open the file MyWebForm.html in a web browser. |
Point to the output | And observe the output. |
Highlight Date of Birth Field | Here we see a field to select date, month and year. |
Highlight Date field controls | We can either type the values manually.
Or we can use the controls to select the desired date, month and year. |
Slide: Date/Time Input type
|
We have used the input type date in this example.
Likewise, we have some other input types to get Date Time from the user. These are the date and time input types available in HTML. Explore these on your own. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
Type:
<label for="gender"> Gender </label> <input type="radio" name="gender" value="male"> Male <input type="radio" name="gender" value="female"> Female <input type="radio" name="gender" value="other"> Other only "Other" is mentioned in the video. "gender" in not there in video.gender |
Switch back to the text editor.
Now let me add the code to get the input for Gender. Next to the Date of birth input, type the code as shown. |
Highlight input type="radio" | I have set the input type as radio. |
Highlight the Gender block | Here I have written a single label and three input fields with the same name gender.
The user will select any one option from these three. But each section will have a different value. Based on the selection, the respective value will be stored. |
Press Ctrl + S | Save the file. |
Refresh the browser | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
Highlight Gender field | Notice that the Gender field is displayed and it has three radio buttons. |
Click on Male radio button | Let me click on the Male radio button. |
Click on Female radio button | Now click on the Female radio button.
Immediately the Male radio button is unselected. Suppose we have one more set of radio buttons. How will it work? Let us check. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
Type: <label for="res"> Residential Status </label> <input type="radio" name="res" value="Indian"> Indian <input type="radio" name="res" value="NRI"> NRI |
Switch to the code.
Add one more field called Residential Status. Next to the Gender field, type the code as shown. |
Press Ctrl + S | Save the file. |
Refresh the browser | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
Highlight Residential Status radio buttons | We got one more set of radio buttons for Residential Status. |
Click on Male radio button | Let me click on the Male radio button in the Gender field. |
Click on Indian radio button | Then click on Indian in the Residential Status field. |
Highlight Indian radio button | Notice that when we click on the radio button Indian, the Male radio button remains selected. |
Highlight Male radio button | As the radio button name is different, the selection is unchanged in the Gender field. |
Switch back to the text editor. | |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
Type: <label for="phone"> Contact Number </label> <input type="number" name="phone"> |
Next we’ll add the code to get a phone number from the user.
Type the code as shown here. |
Highlight input type="number" | Here I have set the input type as number. |
Press Ctrl + S | Save the file. |
Refresh the browser | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
Type 987654 in the Contact number field | We got a field for contact number
Let me type a phone number in this field. |
Highlight the up and down controls | Using the controls we can increase or decrease the numbers.
This is how the number input type works. |
Text on the edit | Instead of number input type, we can also use tel to get phone number. |
Only narration | Next let us try another form element called select. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
Type: <br/> <label for="city"> City </label> <select name="city"> <option value="Chennai"> Chennai </option> <option value="Mumbai"> Mumbai </option> <option value="Delhi"> Delhi </option> <option value="Kolkata"> Kolkata </option> </select> <br/> <br/> |
Next to the contact number input type, type the code as shown.
Here I have written a code to select City from a list. |
Highlight <select name="city"> | For this I’m using select tag.
It has both a start and an end. |
Highlight <option value="Chennai"> Chennai </option> | Using the option tag we can add values to the list. |
Press Ctrl + S | Save the file. |
Refresh the browser | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
Point to the field City | We got the City field along with a drop-down list.
We can select only one value from this list. By default, the first value is pre-selected. |
Only narration | There’s another way of showing this option.
Let me demonstrate that. Switch to the text editor. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
<datalist id="city"> |
Before the select start tag, type the code as shown. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
</datalist> <input type="text" name="city" list="city"> |
Then after the select end tag, type the code as shown. |
Highlight
<datalist id="city"> </datalist> |
I have used the tag datalist before the select element.
This will store the select option value in the form of a list. |
Highlight
<input type="text" name="city" list="city"> |
Next to the datalist end tag, type the code as shown.
Here I have included a text input type. |
Highlight list="city" | And included the datalist inside the input field. |
Press Ctrl + S | Save the file. |
Refresh the browser | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
Point to the field City | The drop-down is changed as a text field for City. |
Type Ch | Let me type c h. |
Highlight Chennai | Immediately the values which start from c h will be displayed.
This feature is similar to Google search. This is the speciality of datalist element in HTML5. |
Only narration | Now say, you want to group some of the form elements together.
And you want to do this such that it doesn’t affect the other elements. For that we have an element called Fieldset. Switch to the text editor to try this. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
Type: <fieldset> <legend> Log-in Details </legend> |
Let us create a fieldset for mail id and password fields.
Before the Email label field, type the code as shown. |
Highlight
<legend> Log-in Details </legend> |
Along with the fieldset, I have used the legend tag to give a name for the field.
However, the legend tag is not mandatory. |
[gedit - MyWebForm.html]
Type: </fieldset> |
Next, to the retype password field, close the fieldset. |
Press Ctrl + S | Save the file. |
Refresh the browser | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
Till now, we have created a form to get some data from the user.
Once we have filled the form, we will click the Submit button to proceed further. Now we will see how can we send this data to the next step. | |
Slide: Form Methods | Form method will be used when we are working with:
|
Slide: Form Methods | Each form will send the data to the next step for processing based on two methods.
This has to be defined inside the form start tag. |
Slide: Get Method |
|
Slide: Post Method | Whereas,
|
Slide: Form Methods
GET: <form action="form2.html" method="get"> POST: <form action="form2.html" method="post"> |
This is the syntax.
Here the action attribute defines the place to which the values have to be passed. |
