In this slide I described all control which is used by the Html Form Controls such as checkbox , radio , text , drop down list / select , file upload and html output controls.
HTML5 includes many new form features to improve the consistency and capabilities of web forms. Some key additions include new form controls like number, range, date, and color pickers. It also adds new attributes to improve the user experience, such as placeholder text, autofocus, restricting input values with min/max, and step controls. Browsers can now perform native form validation using features like required fields, input type validation, and custom patterns. However, support varies across browsers and older browsers may not support all new features.
Forms are used to collect data from users on a website. Form elements include text fields, textareas, drop-downs, radio buttons, and checkboxes. The name, action, and method attributes are commonly used form attributes. Name identifies the form, action specifies the script that receives submitted data, and method specifies how data is uploaded (GET or POST). HTML5 introduces new input types like email, url, number and date/time. It also includes new form attributes for improved user experience and control over input behavior like placeholder, autofocus, maxlength and pattern.
HTML5 introduced new form elements, attributes, and input types to improve the user experience of web forms. Key additions included the <datalist> element for autocomplete suggestions, <keygen> for digital signatures, and <output> to display calculation results. HTML5 also defined new input types like email, url, tel, and color to provide native form validation for specific data types. While browser support for HTML5 forms has increased, some features remain incompatible with older browsers, so backward compatibility must still be considered.
HTML forms allow users to enter data into a website. There are various form elements like text fields, textareas, dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, and file uploads that collect different types of user input. The <form> tag is used to create a form, which includes form elements and a submit button. Forms submit data to a backend application using GET or POST methods.
The document discusses HTML frames and forms. HTML frames enable displaying multiple HTML documents in the same browser window using the <frameset> tag to define columns and <frame> tags to specify the source documents. HTML forms allow users to enter information using input fields like text, text areas, menus, radio buttons, checkboxes defined using <input> tags with attributes like type and name. Common input field types include text, password, radio and checkbox.

It also describes the different input types like text, email, radio buttons, checkboxes, and buttons. The document is intended to teach the basics of HTML forms.
Forms are used to create graphical user interfaces on web pages to collect user input. A form contains elements like text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdown menus. When the user submits the form, the data from these elements is sent to the server. JavaScript can be used to add interactivity to forms, like validating user input before submitting.
HTML is a markup language used to structure and present content on the web. It uses tags placed within angle brackets to define elements like headings, paragraphs, links, images, and form controls. CSS is used to style and lay out HTML elements, separating document structure and presentation. Common HTML elements include headings, paragraphs, links, images, forms, tables and lists. Forms allow users to enter data using controls like text fields, buttons, checkboxes and dropdowns. CSS rules define styles for elements using selectors and declarations with properties and values. Styles can be defined inline, in internal style sheets within HTML, or in external style sheets linked to HTML pages.

This document discusses HTML forms, which allow users to enter and submit information through a web page. It describes the <form>, <input>, <textarea>, and <select> tags used to build forms. <form> defines a form section and includes attributes like action and method. <input> creates different form controls like text boxes, checkboxes, and buttons. <textarea> makes multi-line text fields. <select> produces drop-down menus, with <option> creating the menu items. The document explains how to use these tags to build basic forms that gather and submit user input.
HTML frames allow dividing the browser window into multiple sections to display separate HTML documents or URLs. Key elements for creating frames include <frameset>, <frame>, and <iframe>. <frameset> defines the layout of frames using rows and cols attributes. <frame> specifies the source of each frame's content. Nested framesets create complex layouts. iframes display inline frames for a web page within another page. HTML forms are used to collect user input using elements like text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and select boxes. Form data is submitted to a backend application for processing.
In this chapter we will see the various element of Android SDK, we will see more about their usage in User Interface Design. One of the most basic user interface elements, or controls, in the Android SDK is the TextView control. You use it, quite simply, to draw text on the screen. You primarily use it to display fixed text strings or labels.

This document provides an introduction to Python programming. It outlines the key learning objectives of understanding basic programming concepts, decision making statements, and GUI applications using Python code. It then covers various topics related to Python programming including the history and versions of Python, why it is a good language to learn, its characteristics and applications. It also discusses Python environments including interactive and script modes.
This document discusses object-oriented programming concepts in VB.NET, including:
- Classes define templates for objects with data and behaviors, while objects are instances of classes.
- Features like abstraction, encapsulation, and polymorphism are supported.
- Properties and methods represent object data and behaviors. Constructors and destructors manage object instantiation and cleanup.
- An example class defines properties and a constructor to initialize objects.
Inheritance allows classes to inherit and reuse attributes and behaviors of other classes. It reduces duplicate code and improves efficiency. There are two main types of classes - base/parent classes that are inherited from, and derived/child classes that inherit from base classes. Inheritance is implemented using the "Inherits" keyword in VB.NET and allows passing functionality from base to derived classes. Constructors and destructors are also inherited by default. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated while final classes cannot be inherited from.
Overloading allows methods within a class to have the same name but different signatures. The signature includes the name, number, and type of arguments but not the return type. Functions, procedures, constructors, and properties can be overloaded in VB.NET. Constructor overloading is a special case where constructors with the same name but different parameters are declared. Examples show overloading procedures to handle integer and string inputs differently and overloading constructors to accept integer and string parameters.
This document discusses various decision statements in VB.NET including If-Then, If-Then Else, If-Then ElseIf, and Select Case statements. It provides examples of each statement type and discusses how to nest statements and use short-circuited logic. Key features covered include using multiple conditions in If-Then ElseIf, matching expressions in Select Case, and nesting Select Case statements within other control structures.
This document discusses loop control statements in VB.NET, including exit, continue, and goto statements. The exit statement terminates the loop and transfers control to the statement after the loop. The continue statement skips the rest of the current loop iteration and continues to the next one. The goto statement unconditionally transfers control to a labeled statement. Examples are provided for each type of statement.
The document discusses different types of looping statements in VB.NET, including While, Do, For, and For Each loops. It provides examples and syntax for each type of loop. The key types of loops are:
- While loops repeat statements as long as a condition is true.
- Do loops execute statements first, then check a condition to repeat.
- For loops repeat a set number of times, specified by a start and end value.
- For Each loops iterate through each element of a collection, such as an array.
This document discusses operators in VB.NET. It defines operators as symbols that perform operations on variables or values. It describes different types of operators such as arithmetic, comparison, logical, bitwise, and assignment operators. It provides examples of common operators like addition, subtraction, equality checks and AND/OR logic. The document also covers operator precedence and how it determines the order of operations.
1) Variables are used in programming to store and manipulate data values. They must be declared with a name and data type.
2) Variables can be initialized during or after declaration by assigning them a value. User input can be obtained and assigned to variables using functions like Console.ReadLine().
3) Constants are variables whose values cannot change once declared, while the scope of a variable determines where it can be accessed within a program.
This document provides an introduction and overview of VB.NET (Visual Basic .NET). It discusses what VB.NET is, its features, why it is used as a professional language, advantages and disadvantages. It also describes the structure of a VB.NET program, including namespaces, classes, modules, procedures, variables, and the main procedure. It explains the compilation and execution process of a VB.NET program in Visual Studio. An example VB.NET "Hello World" program is provided to demonstrate the core components.
The .NET Framework Class Library (FCL) provides core functionality for the .NET Framework. It includes thousands of reusable classes organized into namespaces that support tasks like data access, input/output, GUI development, and web services. The FCL is integrated with the Common Language Runtime and provides consistent base types used across all .NET languages.
The document provides an introduction to the .NET framework, including its evolution, versions, components, characteristics, and pros and cons. It discusses the Common Language Runtime (CLR), Common Type System (CTS), Base Class Library (BCL), Common Language Specification (CLS), Framework Class Library (FCL), .NET assemblies, and other components like Windows Forms and ASP.NET. It also covers when .NET is well-suited, such as for scalable products, cross-platform needs, and enterprise-scale infrastructures.
The document provides an introduction to Java Server Pages (JSP) which is a server-side technology used to create dynamic web pages. It discusses static vs dynamic web pages, the JSP lifecycle including compilation, initialization, execution and cleanup. It also covers JSP elements like scriptlets, declarations, expressions, comments and directives. Key components like the JSP directory structure and JSP architecture models are summarized.
SGML is a standard for specifying markup languages. It describes how to define document structure separately from presentation. XML is a simplified version of SGML used to store and transport data. Key differences between XML and HTML include XML focusing on data rather than presentation, being case sensitive, requiring closing tags, and preserving whitespace.

HTML Form
Forms add the ability to web pages to not only provide the person
viewing the document with dynamic information but also to obtain
information from the person viewing it, and process the information.
Objectives:
Upon completing this section, you should be able to
1. Create a FORM.
2. Add elements to a FORM.
3. Define CGI (Common Gateway Interface).
4. Describe the purpose of a CGI Application.
5. Specify an action for the FORM.
Forms work in all browsers.
Forms are Platform Independent
3. 3
HTML Form
A form in HTML is contained within a form element. i.e. <form>…<</form>.
A form is made up of fields as well as the markup necessary to structure the form
and potentially control its presentation.
Form fields include text fields, password fields, multiple-line text fields, pop-up
menus, scrolled lists, radio buttons, check boxes, and buttons.
The form itself contains regular text, other HTML elements such as tables, and form
elements such as check boxes, drop-down menus, and text fields.
In order to make the form work, you must specify two things in the <form> tag: the
address of the program that will handle the form contents using action and the
method by which the form data will be passed using the method attribute.
4. 4
HTML Form
To insert a form we use the <FORM></FORM> tags. The rest of the form elements
must be inserted in between the form tags.
<HTML> <HEAD>
<TITLE> Sample Form</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=“FFFFFF”>
<FORM ACTION = http://www.xnu.com/formtest.asp>
<P> First Name: <INPUT TYPE=“TEXT” NAME=“fname” MAXLENGTH=“50”> </P>
<P> <INPUT TYPE=“SUBMIT” NAME=“fsubmit1” VALUE=“Send Info”> </P>
</FORM>
</BODY> </HTML>
5. 5
HTML Form Attributes
ACTION: is the URL of the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program that is going to
accept the data from the form, process it, and send a response back to the browser.
METHOD: GET (default) or POST specifies which HTTP method will be used to send
the form’s contents to the web server. The CGI application should be written to accept
the data from either method.
NAME: is a form name used by VBScript or JavaScripts.
TARGET: is the target frame where the response page will show up.
6. 6
HTML Form ElementsText Fields
Single-line text entry fields are specified using the input element and are useful for collecting small
bits of data such as a user's name, address, e-mail address, and so on. It is possible to specify a
multiple-line text field using the textarea element. To set a text entry control, <input> tag is used.
<input type="text" name="UserName" id="UserName" size="30" maxlength="60“ value="Enter your
name here”>
Attributes
Name /Id: All form elements should be named by setting the name attribute to some unique value.
Size: By default, unless specified this field generally will be a width of 20 characters. The value of
the size field for an <input> tag is the number of characters to be displayed. It is possible for the user
to type more characters than this value. The text will just scroll by.
Maxlength: If you want to limit the size of the field, you need to set the value of the maxlength
attribute to the maximum number of characters allowed in the field.
Value: The final attribute that is useful to set with a text entry field is the value attribute. With this
attribute, you can specify the default text you want to appear in the field when the form is first loaded.
7. 7
HTML Form Elements
Password Fields
The password form field is the same as the simple text entry field, except that the input to the field
is not echoed when typed. To set a password form control, use the <input> tag again but this
time set the type attribute equal to password.
As with the text field, it is possible to specify the size of the field in characters with size and the
maximum entry in characters with maxlength.
Setting a default value for the password field with the value attribute doesn't make much sense
because the user can see it by viewing the HTML source of the document.
Of course, the name and id attributes should also be used on this form field.
<input type="password" name="Pass" id="Pass" size="10" maxlength="10“ >
8. 8
Example of Password Field
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Form_Password_Type</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<h1> <font color=red>To Access, Please
enter:</font></h1>
<FORM name="fome2" Action="url" method="get">
User Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" Name="FName“ SIZE="15“
MAXLENGTH="25"> <BR>
Password: <INPUT TYPE="PASSWORD" NAME="PWord" value="“ SIZE="15”
MAXLENGTH="25"><BR>
</FORM></BODY> </HTML>
9. 9
HTML Form Elements
Multiple-Line Text Input
When it is necessary to enter more than one line of text in a form field, the input element must be
abandoned in favor of the textarea element. Like the text input field, there are similar attributes to
control the display size of the data entry area as well as the default value and the name of the control.
Attributes
Rows: To set the number of rows in the text entry area, set the rows attribute equal to the
number of rows desired.
Cols: To set the number of characters per line, set the cols attribute.
<textarea rows="5" cols="80" name="CommentBox" id="CommentBox"> </textarea>
Because there can be many lines of text within a <textarea> tag, it is not possible to set the default
text for the area using the value attribute. Instead, place the default text between the <textarea> and
</textarea> tags:
<textarea rows="5" cols="80" name="CommentBox" id="CommentBox">
Please fill in your comments here.
</textarea>
The information enclosed within a <textarea> tag must be plain text and should not include any
HTML markup. In fact, the default text in a <textarea> tag preserves all the spaces, returns, and
other special characters. Markup included within the form control will not be interpreted.
10. 10
HTML Form Elements
Drop-Down Menus
A drop-down menu enables the user to select one choice out of many possible choices. One nice aspect of drop-
down menus is that all choices do not have to be seen on the screen and are generally are hidden. To create a
drop-down menu <select> tag is used.
The tag should contain one or more occurrences of the option element. Each <option> tag specifies a menu
choice.
Like all form fields the select element has name and id attributes used to set a unique name for the field. It is also
possible to set the size attribute on a <select> tag, but generally this is not set unless the menu is a scrolled list.
The option element has a few attributes as well. An occurrence of the attribute selected in an <option> tag sets the
form control to select this item by default. Otherwise, a browser will choose the first <option> within the select
element as the default. If multiple selected attributes are specified, the result is generally to select the final
<option> tag with a selected attribute. Generally, the value submitted when the form is sent is the value enclosed
by the option element. However, it is possible to set the value attribute for the element that will be returned instead.
<form >
<select name="GadgetType" id="GadgetType">
<option>Super Gadget</option>
<option value="MEG-G5">Mega Gadget</option>
<option value="MO-45" selected="selected">Mongo Gadget</option>
<option>Plain Gadget</option>
</select>
</form>
11. 11
HTML Form Elements
Check Box
With the scrolled list, it is possible to select many items out of a large group of items. Unfortunately, not all the items
are presented at once for the user to choose. If there are a few options to select from that are not mutually
exclusive, it probably is better to use a group of check boxes that the user can check off.
Check boxes are best used to toggle choices on and off. Although it is possible to have multiple numbers of check
boxes and let the user select as many as he or she wants.
To create a check box, use an <input> tag and set the type attribute equal to checkbox.
The check box also should be named by setting the name and id attributes.
If the check box is selected, a value of Cheese=on will be transmitted to the server. Setting a value for the check
box might make more sense. Values to be transmitted instead of the default value can be set with the value
attribute. The code
Cheese: <input type="checkbox" name="Extras“ value="Cheese“ >
would send a response such as Extras=Cheese to the server.
It is possible to set a check box to be selected by default by using the checked attribute within an <input> tag.
<form>
Super-magneto: <input type="checkbox" name="mag" value="Magnetize" >
<br>
Kryptonite Coating: <input type="checkbox" name="krypto" value="Anti-Superman"
checked="checked" >
<br />
Anti-gravity: <input type="checkbox" name="antigrav" value="Anti-gravity" >
<br>
</form>
12. 12
HTML Form Elements
Radio Button :
Radio buttons use a similar notation to check boxes, but only one option may be chosen among many.
This is an especially good option for choices that don't make sense when selected together.
In this sense, radio buttons are like pull-down menus that allow only one choice.
The main difference is that all options are shown at once with radio buttons.
Like check boxes, this form field uses the standard <input type=""> format. In this case, set type equal to radio.
Setting the name attribute is very important in the case of radio buttons because it groups together controls that
share the radio functionality.
The radio functionality says that when an item is selected, it deselects the previously pressed item. If the names
are not the same, the radio group will not work.
Be careful when naming radio fields.
When working with radio buttons, the value attribute must also be carefully considered. It is important to set each
individual radio button to a different value entry. Otherwise, it will be impossible to decipher which button was
selected.
Like check boxes, the occurrence of the selected attribute in an <input> tag will preselect the item. Only one item
may be selected as a default out of a radio group.
If the selected attribute does not occur, the browser typically will not display any items as selected.
<form>
Groovy Green: <input type="radio" name="Color" value="Green">
Rocket Red: <input type="radio" name="Color" value="Red" checked="checked">
Yipee! Yellow: <input type="radio" name="Color" value="Yellow">
</form>
13. 13
HTML Form Elements
Reset and Submit Button
Once a form has been filled in, there must be a way to send it on its way, whether it is submitted to a program for
processing or simply mailed to an e-mail address.
The input element has two values, reset and submit, for the type attribute for accomplishing this.
Setting the type attribute for an <input> tag to reset creates a button that allows the user to clear or set to default all
the form fields at once.
Setting the type attribute for <input> to submit creates a button that triggers the browser to send the contents of the
form to the address specified in the action attribute of the enclosing form element.
The buttons have two important attributes: value and name. The value attribute sets both the value of the button
transmitted to the server and the text wording on the button.
The name value associates an identifier with the form field for submission. Ofcourse, id can be used as well for
setting a name, but it is typically more related to style sheets.
Because the Submit and Reset buttons cause an action, either form submission or field reset, it may not be obvious
why the name field can be useful.
Although having multiple Reset buttons might not be so useful, multiple Submit buttons are useful because the
value of the button is sent to the address specified in the form element's action attribute.
<input type="submit" value="Place Order" name="Add“ >
<input type="submit" value="Delete Order" name="Delete”>
<input type="submit" value="Update Order" name="Update”>
<input type="reset" value="Reset Form" name="ResetButton”>
15. 15
HTML Form Elements
File Upload: You can use a file upload to allow surfers to upload files to your web server.
<INPUT TYPE=“FILE”>
Browser will display
File Upload has the following attributes:
TYPE: file.
SIZE: is the size of the text box in characters.
NAME: is the name of the variable to be sent to the CGI application.
MAXLENGHT: is the maximum size of the input in the textbox in characters.
<BODY bgcolor=lightblue>
<form>
<H3><font color=forestgreen>
Please attach your file here to for uploading to
My <font color =red>SERVER...<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="File" name="myFile" size="30">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" value="SubmitFile">
</form>
</BODY>
17. 17
HTML Form Action Attribute
The action Attribute
How a form is to be handled is set using the action attribute for the form element.
The action attribute usually is set to a URL of the program on the web server that will
process the form data captured and being sent back.
The server side program that processes this data can be written in any scripting
language that the web server understands.
For example, the code
<form action="http://www.democompany.com/cgi-bin/post-query.pl"
method="post">
would be for a script called post-query.pl in the cgi-bin directory on the server
www.democompany.com.
It is also possible to use a relative URL for the action attribute if the form is delivered by
the same server that houses the form-handling program:
<form action="../cgi-bin/post-query.pl" method="post">
18. 18
HTML Form Method Attribute
It is also necessary to specify how the form will be submitted to the
address specified by the action attribute.
How data will be submitted is handled by the method attribute.
There are two acceptable values for the method attribute:
1) get
2) post
These are the HTTP methods that a browser uses to "talk" to a
server.
If the method attribute remains unspecified, it defaults to the get
method.
19. 19
HTML Form get() Method
• The HTTP get method generally is the default method for browsers to submit
information.
• In fact, HTML documents generally are retrieved by requesting a single URL from a
Web server using the get method, which is part of the HTTP protocol. When you type
a URL such as http://www.democompany.com/staff/thomas.html into your Web
browser, it is translated into a valid HTTP get request like this: GET
/staff/thomas.html HTTP/1.1
• This request is then sent to the server www.democompany.com. What this request
says, essentially, is "Get me the file thomas.html in the staff directory. I am speaking
the 1.1 dialect of HTTP."
• We need to pass the form data along with the name of the program to run. To do
this, all the information from the form is appended onto the end of the URL being
requested. This produces a very long URL with the actual data in it, as shown here:
http://www.democompany.com/cgi-
bin/comments.exe?Name=Matthew+Foley&Age=32&Sex=male
20. 20
HTML Form get() Method
Disadvantages:
The get method isn't very secure because the data input appears in the URL.
Furthermore, there is a limitation to just how much data can be passed with the get
method (1024 bytes).
Advantage:
• First, get is easy to deal with. An example URL like the previous one should make it
obvious that the Name field is set to Matthew Foley, the Age is 32, and the Sex is
male. The individual form field values are separated by ampersands. Other reason
to use get is that it comes in the form of a URL, so it can be bookmarked or set as a
link.
• The get method is used properly in search engines. When a user submits a query to
a search engine, the engine runs the query and then returns page upon page of
results. It is possible to bookmark the query results and rerun the query later.
21. 21
HTML Form post() Method
In situations where a large amount of information must be passed back, the post method is more
appropriate than get.
The post method transmits all form input information as a data stream immediately after the
requested URL.
In other words, once the server has received a request from a form using post, it knows to
continue "listening" for the rest of the information.
The get method comes with the data to use right in the URL request. The encoding of the form
data is handled in the same general way as the get method by default; spaces become plus signs
and other characters are encoded in the URL fashion. A sample form might send data that would
look like the following:
Name=Jane+Smith&Age=30&Sex=female
The benefit of using the post method is that a large amount of data can be submitted this way
because the form contents are not in the URL.
In the post example, the encoding of the form data is the same as get, although it is possible to
change the encoding method using the enctype attribute.
One potential downside of the post method is that pages generated by data submitted via post
cannot be bookmarked.
