What are the primary input object types? Provide a code example of two different input types.
What will be an ideal response?
The element defines many of the form input object types. You use the type attribute to specify the object type within the element, such as:
size="35" maxlength="35">?
Input type | Description |
text | Creates a text entry field that lets the user enter a single word or a line of text; this is the default object type |
password | Creates the same type of text entry field created by the value text, but the user's entry is masked by asterisks |
checkbox | Provides on/off toggles that the user selects; check boxes are best used with multiple-answer questions, and multiple check boxes can contain the same name, which lets you group them together so users can select multiple values for the same property |
radio | Lets a user choose one value from a range of values; when radio buttons are grouped together with the same name, only one choice can be selected |
submit | Sends the form data to the server using the transmission method specified in the |
reset | Clears the form of any user-entered data and returns the form to its original state |
hidden | Adds a control that is not displayed in the browser; the hidden type is useful for sending additional information with form data that may be needed for processing |
image | Adds a graphic button to the form, rather than the default button |
button | Creates a button that has no default behavior; the button's function is usually defined by a script; when the user pushes the button, the script function is triggered |
file | Lets the user select a file that is submitted with the form |
