CIS 213 Notes:  Forms

 

search my courses:

 


 		   

Introduction

Forms are fairly straightforward. You just need to learn how to make text boxes, pull-down menus, and radio buttons so that users can enter information. We will use forms to interact with databases later in the semester, but for now, you'll just insert the form elements.

Here are some example of form elements:

text box (used to enter line of text or number): (notice that you can fill the box with an initial value)

multi-line text box (used to enter multiple lines of text):

drop-down menu (usually used to select one item from MANY choices):

radio buttons (used to make one choice from a few selections):

Red
Green
Blue
(notice that these 3 radio buttons behave as a group. When you click one, the others are deselected)

check box (use a list of these to select multiple items)

Jump Menu:

(jumps to specified URL)

 

Please watch the video demo to see how to create these form elements.
