Hello everyone! Today we want to talk about the details of HTML elements. HTML is the primary language for creating web pages and understanding its elements is very important. Each of these elements performs a specific function and has different responsibilities. By knowing these responsibilities, we can create more beautiful and user-friendly web pages.
Every HTML element consists of a start tag and an end tag (except for some specific elements like <br> or <img>) and normally contains a text or other content. For example, the element <p> displays a paragraph.
In HTML, you can use attributes to define the behavior or appearance of elements. For instance, an element <a> can specify a link to a URL using the href attribute.
Additionally, HTML5 has introduced new elements such as <article>, <section>, and others that help you structure content more effectively.
To better understand these elements, let's look at a simple example that creates a contact form using HTML.
Code Sample: Creating a Contact Form with HTML
<form action="/submit-form" method="post">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
<br>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
<br>
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
<br>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
Breakdown of the Code:
<form> The <form> tag creates a new web form, and the action attribute specifies where the data should be sent. <label> The <label> tag provides the user with information about what to input, and the for attribute associates the label with the corresponding input. <input> The <input> tag is used for various types of input fields, and the type attribute specifies the kind of input (e.g., text, email). <textarea> The <textarea> tag is used for longer text input and specifies the name attribute which defines how the data is sent. <button> Finally, the <button> tag allows the form to be submitted.
