Fundamentals of Web Programming
Notes Self Assessment
Fill in the blanks:
6. A text field is placed on a web page using the <input> tag, with the ...............................
attribute set with a value of “text”.
7. The HTML ............................ tag represents a group of introductory or navigational aids.
12.4 Text Area
Text areas are text fields that can span several lines.
Unlike most other form fields, text areas are not defined with an <input> tag.
Instead you enter a <textarea> tag where you want the text area to start and a closing </textarea>
tag where you want the area to end.
Everything written between these tags will be presented in the text area box.
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name=”myform” action=”http://www.mydomain.com/myformhandler.cgi”
method=”POST”>
<div align=”center”>
This is outside the area<br><br>
<textarea cols=”40" rows=”5" name=”myname”>
Now we are inside the area - which is nice.
</textarea>
<br><br>
And now we are outside the area again.
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
