On a website, we need a way to get information from our user from time to time. A form for them to fill out is how we will get that information. See below the different 'form controls' that are available.
Text Input: This is simply a text box for a single line of text that the user will fill in.
Text Area: This is a larger text box that is used when the information will take up more space than just one line. So its for multiple lines of input.
Checkboxes: A user can select or unselect as many as apply to them.
Drop-down boxes: When you click on this, a series of options show up, but only one can be selected.
Radio buttons: The user must select one of the provided options.
Submit button: This button when clicked on will send the information provided by user and send it to another webpage.
Image button: This allows you to use an image.
So this is how we extract data/information from our user in a simple straight forward way. Happy Coding!
