Forms

HTML forms allow you to access shopping carts, search engines, Web-based email, bulletin boards, etc. Forms include controls such as edit fields, check boxes, radio buttons, combo boxes, and other controls similar to those used in dialog boxes.

Edit field – An area on the web page where you can type in text.
Button – an area that can be clicked on in order to perform an action, such as submitting a form
Check box – a field that can be “checked” or “ unchecked” to indicate a yes or no decision.
Radio buttons – a group of check boxes tied together in one field. Only one can be chosen in the group.
Combo box – A field that contains a list. Only one item can be chosen on the list.

These are sample forms for practice only. Your submission will not be sent.
