To incorporate a text box into an HTML document for user input on a webpage, the following steps need to be adhered to. By following these instructions, any individual can effortlessly generate a text box.
To begin, the initial step involves entering the HTML code into a text editor or opening an already existing HTML file in the text editor where we intend to generate the text box.
<!Doctype Html>
<Html>
<Head>
<Title>
Create the Text Box
</Title>
</Head>
<Body>
Hello User! <br>
</Body>
</Html>
Step 2: For creating the text box, firstly we have to define the <form> tag , if not defined in the code. Now, we have to place the cursor at that point in the <form> tag where we want to create the text box. And, then we have to type the <input> tag at that point.
<form>
Student Name:
<input >
<br> <br>
Course:
<input >
</form>
Step 3: Following the creation of the <input> tag, it is essential to utilize its attribute called type. The purpose of this attribute is to indicate the specific data type that should be input. In order to generate a text box, the type attribute should be assigned the value "text".
<form>
Student Name:
<input type="text" name="Name">
<br> <br>
Course:
<input type="text" name="Course">
</form>
Step 4: To specify the width of the text box, we can set it using the size attribute.
<form>
Student Name:
<input type="text" name="Name" size="20">
<br> <br>
Course:
<input type="text" name="Course" size="15">
</form>
Step 5 involves saving the HTML file and subsequently opening it in a web browser to view its contents.
<!Doctype Html>
<Html>
<Head>
<Title>
Create the Text Box
</Title>
</Head>
<Body>
Hello User! <br>
<form>
Student Name:
<input type="text" name="Name" size="20">
<br> <br>
Course:
<input type="text" name="Course" size="15">
</form>
</Body>
</Html>
