Learning HTML

Subject: Learning HTML Tue Mar 04, 2008 8:26 pm

I don't really have particular reason to learn HTML formatting, but I kind of want to learn.

I made a very simple page that is basically worthless. It's the first "page" I've ever created in HTML.

Code:: <HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>This is an HTML Page. I used HTML to create it</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<p>This is some text</p>

</HTML>

Up next is something a hair more complicated. I took a code I found online and added to it.

BEFORE:

LOL! If you want to copy the code, open up notepad. Save the file to your desktop as page.htm (or any name...make sure it ends in .htm though!!). Close notepad. Open up the saved file and it should open up in your browser. The information you submit goes nowhere - I don't know how to make it redirect to somewhere.

You can make the information go to an email address. Just change the value in

Code:: <input type="submit" value="Enter my information">

to an e-mail address. But because the page isn't published, (ie, on a www site) it'll probably not go anywhere.

Cool! I'll add that later.

I'm confused. If I change input type ="submit" to an email the button goes away. If I change value="Enter my information" to an email address the button says the email address instead of enter my information.

you have to add this piece of code after value=something,

Code:: action="mailto: e-mail@something.com"

(be sure to keep in within the brackets).

I did that. I think it works. You say it won't actually mail me anything unless it's part of a real website, right?

Well, what happened when you filled it out and hit the button? Did you receive an e-mail? If not, just put it up on this site and fill it out and it should work.

Is that what you want to do? Put up a form on this site?

Subject: Re: Learning HTML Wed Mar 05, 2008 5:36 pm

Okay, I made https://dtf1.forumotion.com/Test-h15.html

When I hit submit I get a "No input file specified" message on the next page. Do I have to code which of those files get mailed to me?
