We have learned about lots of HTML form elements, but what if you want to learn more? Here’s a few challenges for you.
Resources
If you'd like to learn more, be sure to check out the Mozilla Developer Network guide for HTML forms and browse their documentation.
We've learned about lots of HTML form
elements,
0:00
but what if you want to learn more?
0:03
Well, here's a few challenges for you.
0:05
First, be sure to check the notes and read
the documentation for HTML forms.
0:07
We've covered the essentials, but this is
a very in-depth topic.
0:13
Don't worry about memorizing everything
0:18
because almost no professional web
developer
0:20
can name every attribute or type on say,
the input element.
0:23
What's more important than memorization is
learning how to
0:28
look up things in the documentation when
you need them.
0:31
Here's another challenge.
0:35
Remember when I said you could remove the
CSS for this project?
0:36
Well, try adding your own CSS to make this
form look the way you want it to look.
0:39
In this course we just focused on the
HTML, but styling form
0:46
elements can be a little bit
0:49
more challenging than your typical HTML
element.
0:51
They don't always behave the way you
0:55
think they will, especially across
different browsers.
0:57
And here's one final challenge: if you
decide to
1:00
move onto a server side language like PHP,
Ruby
1:03
or Python, try revisiting this project and
see if
1:07
you can make this form actually submit to
a database.
1:11
It'll take a lot more learning, but you've
already made
1:14
it this far so I am sure you can do it.
