Here's a tutorial on how to style and work with HTML text boxes:
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) text boxes, also known as input fields, are used to collect data from users, such as text, numbers, or email addresses. Text boxes can be styled and customized using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and their values can be accessed and manipulated using JavaScript.
To create a text box in HTML, you can use the <input>
element with the type="text"
attribute. The name
attribute is used to give the text box a name, which can be used to access its value in JavaScript.
Here's an example of how to create a simple text box in HTML:
<label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
In this example, a label and a text box are created for the user to enter their name. The for
attribute of the label is set to the id
attribute of the text box, which links them together.
To style a text box in HTML, you can use CSS to change its font, background color, border, and other properties. Here's an example of how to style a text box using CSS:
<style> input[type="text"] { font-size: 16px; padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 4px; } </style> <input type="text" name="name">
In this example, CSS is used to set the font size, padding, border, and border-radius of the text box.
You can also work with text boxes in JavaScript to access their values and perform operations on them. Here's an example of how to get the value of a text box in JavaScript:
<input type="text" id="name" name="name"> <button onclick="getName()">Get Name</button> <script> function getName() { var name = document.getElementById("name").value; alert("Name: " + name); } </script>
In this example, a button is created to call a JavaScript function that gets the value of the text box and displays it in an alert box.
By using HTML text boxes and CSS styling, you can create customized and user-friendly input fields to collect data from your website visitors. You can also use JavaScript to manipulate and work with the values entered in the text boxes.
