 Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2005 12:21 pm Post subject: Interactive Form Example |
 |
|
This is the html code for an example form I am showing somebody.
| Code: |
When I get angry
Tick some of the following words you feel when you get angry
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox">Mad Upset Mardy
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox2" value="checkbox">Want to hit out Want to punch something </p>
List some examples for each type of threat
a) threat to our person or property
<textarea name="textarea" cols="50"></textarea>
|
Looks like this:
When I get angry
Tick some of the following words you feel when you get angry</p>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox">Mad Upset Mardy
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox2" value="checkbox">Want to hit out Want to punch something
List some examples for each type of threat
a) threat to our person or property
<textarea name="textarea" cols="50"></textarea>
The purpose is to allow a user to add their thoughts by clicking a button or completing a text field. The form can then be printed. |

Desperately seeking answers! |

Hey hi there!

OK this bit is essential to the task, you really are going to have to if working with HTML.

No that won't work as a word document is NOT html. Also if you want these to work over the internet they wil have to be HTML files.
My advice is work with HTML files as this will provide a great more flexibility for you.
What do you not understand about HTML?

OK listen forget how it looks for now, that is the last thing to do, i.e. make it look pretty, that is the easy bit.
What is important is how it functions..
HTML is simple.. a html file is pretty much just a little document that contains text. That text looks like english and it tells an internet browser how to display stuff.
The text I'm talking about is called HTML TAGS.
Copy and paste the following into a text document
| Code: |
<html>
<h1>Hello This Is My First Page</H1>
</html> |
then save the file as filename.html
When you save it you'll have to use "save as" as you need to make sure you save it with the .html.
You should be able to click on your new filename.html and see it in the internet browser you use.
Once you understand the basics of how HTML works you'll be able to add more and more features.
Does that help? |

I don't use word and to honest you are better off using a HTML editor...
does the school have one of those? You could ask....
Something like Dreamweaver or Frontpage, this will enable you to create web pages. |

I remember when I first started with web pages, it seemed so complex, and when I figured it out, it was simple.
HTML is a mark up language, you use tags to tell the browser what to do with the information between the tags.
To start out with, I would use notepad, it is a simple text editor, that won't reformat you markup. So Open notepad now...
1). Copy the code below
| Code: |
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello world, This is a heading 1, the largest heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p align='center'>This is a centered pagargraph the align is an attribute.</p>
<h6>Yeah, I did it, this is a heading 6, the smallest heading</h6>
</body>
</html>
|
2). Paste this into a blank instance of notepad.
3). Goto file => Save as
4). A box should pop up, and you will see a place to put a file name.
5). Copy the file name in number 6
6). hello.html
7). Paste the file name for #6 into the filename box in notepad, ignore the save as file type. You are giving the file type in the file name.
8. Goto the directory where you saved it, and double click on the icon.
9). A browser should pop up and show you your formated page.
I hope this step by step helps your cause, once you see it, it might make more sense. |
