So far what Have I learnt. Well I have discovered that I have brushed up on my previous HTML coding which as far as I am aware was HTML1. There were some tricky parts for me Like the Tables but after going through the section Bit by Bit and applying what I was doing into Visual studio's HTML editor that I was able to fine tune what I was learning
above is the Horizontal rule which I learned using the <hr> Tag. to get this showing of the hr tag I used the HTML Entities which was something I never knew about. To be completely Honest, Most of My HTML coding was self taught in the days of Notepad on windows 3.11 and later moving over to a WYSIWYG editor in the form of Frontpage 95 and Frontpage 97 and the Older versions of Dreamweaver.
Having done the tables exercises I took time doing the coding bit as I needed to refer to the Answer to overcome the LIttle stumbling Block and I was able to then complete the exercise. Anyway the <thead> tags I learnt about Table Headers as No good self respecting Table does not have a <thead> tag.anyway Below is my attempt at a Table
| First Name | Surname |
|---|---|
| Michael | McBride |
| Alan | McBride |
| Christopher | McBride |
Now to do this "project" I am Using the BlueGriffon Editor which does have a WYSIWYG interface but as I am Learning to do HTML coding I think it would be cheating of me to do this in the Visual Editor so I am sitting here doing it ALL in code
Anyway another thing I learnt was about Forms as those too I used the WYSIWYG editors to do for me and for this one I MIGHT have to refer to my previous Example Pages I Made. I think that the tag (without me looking at previous codings) is the <input> tag so lets try that in the space below
Username:
Okay so that did work and Yes I did have to Look at my previous Notes The code for this was <input placeholder="username or email" type="text">
Now next up is the Checkboxes
Here I decided to use the Checked Option by using the <input type="checkbox" checked="checked"> parameters
Now for radio Buttons (nope not something Like on your Actual radio) but they are the little round things that you see which ask you mundane things like over 18 or Under 18, SO lets use that for this little example
Over 18:
Under 18:
Here I used the <input type="radio" name="age"> code to make it up in such a way as to only be able to select one of the options
Next up is the <select> Tags which Give you a drop down Box with various Options in it
Favorite Horror Films:
Now for the really tricky one as Yes, Once more I have checked my notes for this and it is the dreaded Submit Button of which the code for it is <input value="Accept" type=submit>
