Hi Guys

Thanks everyone Similar TutorialsHow do I prefill an input field in a form? I don't mean "value=hello" I mean have a light gray text inside that says "enter your first name" and then when the user starts typing that text disappears.

The first two are for taking only one line of text, but the third is a bigger input for taking in multiple paragraphs of text. The trouble is, I can't get this third one to wrap the text! Is there a way to turn word wrapping on for an input bar? Or should I be using a different form element? Hello, Does anyone know how to create an input form that saves text to a text file? i.e. a text box with a submit button. Thanks. Code: <form action="submitreg.php" method="post"> Desired Username: <input type="text"><br> Desired Password: <input type="text"> </form> This is just an ordinary unmodified form I have created. The problem is that the form positioning outputs like this: How do I make this look normal and aligned? Thank you I have a form but a text field and a hidden field don't come in form elements.I am alerting all form elements in a javascript function which is invoked on press of a button and these two form elements don't come. Any idea why that will happen. JS function which alerts the form elements is as follows :- function populateSubmitProfile() { var i =0; alert("Number of forms "+document.forms.length) ; for( i = 0 ; i < document.forms[0].elements.length ; i++) { alert("Name of the elements :"+document.forms[0].elements[i].name) ; } } Ok so here is my issue, i am new to web site design and i have a simple project i would like to work on. I am looking to have an entry box with a simple submit button, then i would like the submissions to be displayed below in the order they are submitted. I would also like to limit the number of submissions that show on the page at a given time by creating multiple pages that can be viewed. This seems like a very simple issue but im having trouble finding solutions on the web. Would inserting a java app or some other secondary tool be better? Any help is appreciated -Matt Hi, I have a search form with the following code:# <!-- Begin FusionBot.com site search engine code--> <FORM NAME=fbsearch METHOD=GET ACTION="http://ss021.fusionbot.com/cgi-bin/ss_query"> <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=keys style="height: 18px; width: 100px; background-color:#1E7CC8;<input size="8" SIZE=10> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=sitenbr VALUE="154309449"> <INPUT TYPE="image" src="http://www.freewebs.com/hanifm/search.gif" name="go" value="go" alt="Click to Search"><BR> </DIV> </FORM> <!-- End FusionBot.com site search engine code --> What I want is, is for the form to be like the login area of this site: http://www.pixel2life.com/ if u look at the top right of that site u can see it has the bit with username. I want that same style of the box with the white text inside and with the same border thickness and colour. These are the colours: Inside of the form (background): #1E7CC8 The Border colour: #64A2D6 The boder thickness has to be small like the one on the sie If anyone could do this it would be much appreciated. Thank You Hi, What I have is a search field that searchs from say 200 - 400 and displays anything in between that figure. What I would like it to do is also show results from 400 - 499. Is there away of adding 99 to any value entered so rather than searching for 100 it is searching for 199. But when it gets to 1000's it would need to be 999. Is this possible? If so is it possible cn you do it without displaying the 99 so it shows the figure they entered but in the background its doing the work? Thanks alot Joe Hi, i'm new here and fairly new to html and use a point and click interface for making websites. Can someone help me with an html code that can do the following?: -Its an large input field for visitors to post text and pictures which will then be sent to my email-, to be reviewed for content by me. I will then edit the website with the visitor's content. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. Thank You, Frostysnow Hi Everyone, I am trying to arrange 2 text input fields and one textarea so that 2 input fields are positioned vertically (one above the other) and textarea is positioned to the right of these 2 input fields. I looked on the web on how to construct rows and tables and scooped up this code where I show how I position these elements: HTML Code: <table border="1"> <tr> <th>Heading</th> <th>Another Heading</th> </tr> <tr> <td>INPUT FIELD</td> <td>TEXTAREA</td> </tr> <tr> <td>INPUT FIELD</td> <td>blank</td> </tr> </table> But the problem is that text area creates a huge vertical space between 2 input fields that is equal to the height of textarea. I need textarea and input fields to be independent of eachother and for textarea height not to affect the vertical space between the 2 input fields. Could somebody, please, tell me how this can be done? I tried to insert additional tables and tried to also create it in DreamWeaver but I am not that knowledgeable with these tools. Please help, Thanks, Victor. So I'm really new to html and I apologize if I'm asking a really obvious/ stupid question. Is there any way that I could make an input button/ form and retrieve the input field value in a specific place? I mean like, is it possible to have the input value sent as a comment in a specific livejournal post? Hi I want to do two things: 1) pre populate the input field (the following isn't pre populating in FF) <input type='text' name='txt' id='txt' onFocus='this.select()' VALUE='GIGS' class="formInput" /> CSS: form input {padding-top:5px; font-size:large; background-color:#fff; border:none; height:31px;} 2) make the pre populated text have a different format to the text people write in it. Is it possible? Will it be html, or involve JS? Thanks for your time and help. Shaun i would like the following to be the same size in every browser. i currently have it fitted for firefox. it's almost perfect in internet explorer, but about a pixel too long. as for opera, it is actually a bit too short. any ideas? http://bombfubk.bravehost.com/test.html html: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <link href="css/test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <form action="" method="get"> <label for=""> <input name="test" type="text" id="test" value="bfgbfbfbf" size="69" /> </label> </form> </body> </html> css: form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } label { background-color: #009933; display: block; padding: 5px; width: 440px; } The page can be found he http://www.trinityacademy.org/alumni/addressBook. You can tab from field to field but can't click on the fields. IF Google toolbar is enabled then you can click on the fields that Google recognizes for autofil but not on the fields it does not. I am baffled by this one. Any ideas??? Hi all, I have a text input field, and I would like it to autocomplete from a list. For example the input field is for cities, and when the user types 'lon' I want it to automatically show a list of cities that have lon in the beginning of it's name, or if there are no others for it to autocomplete for the user. It doesn't necessarily have to be a text input element, it can be something else I just don't know what to use or how to go about it. Anyone got any ideas? I have some fields and a Select option, I want to add a new field if I select "Add" option, and remove field when I select "Remove" option, can I do it in very simple JavaScript? This should be so simple task but no. How can I pass input field value to the function? What I read from the input field, as soon as I press the "Save results" the value of the input field should be passed within the function. All I can do is puit 'stuffhere' and it works but simply can not manage to retriveve the input data! <form name="inputData"> <input type="text" name="userName" size="32"/><br /> <a href="#" OnClick="SetText('resultHandler','Username',' stuffhere ');SendMessageToTheObject('resultHandler','saveResult');return true;"><font color="red">[Save result]</font></a> </form> Hey, I'm jst starting to learn html and I was someone could give me an example of how to create a a simple form with 2 input fields which are set to a value say "hello" in first field and "World" in second field when the button is clicked. Thanks Hi all, I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc. Can this be done?
