select, textarea, fieldset and legend

NOTEObjective — Complete your form toolkit with dropdown lists (select), multi-line text areas (textarea) and semantic field grouping (fieldset + legend).

Learning objectives

TIPBy the end of this module
  • Create a dropdown list with select and option
  • Add a text area with textarea
  • Group fields with fieldset
  • Label a group with legend
  • Build a complete, accessible form

select: the dropdown list

The <select> tag offers a choice from a list of options. Each choice is an <option> tag. The value attribute is the data sent; the text is what the user sees.

TIPTip: Ask ChatGPT: « Generate an accessible registration form with a country select, a presentation textarea, and a fieldset for contact details. »

Anatomy of a form: form, label, input

NOTEObjective — Build your first HTML form. Understand the three basic tags: form (the container), label (the label) and input (the input field).

Learning objectives

TIPBy the end of this module
  • Create a form container
  • Add input fields
  • Associate a label with each field
  • Understand the name attribute
  • Add a submit button

The intuition: a form collects data

A form is the way for the user to send information: their name, email, a message. This is what makes a page interactive. The <form> tag wraps all the fields.

mailto, tel and links to files

NOTEObjective — Discover special links: open the mail client with mailto:, start a call with tel:, and offer a file download with the download attribute.

Learning objectives

TIPBy the end of this module
  • Create an email link with mailto:
  • Pre-fill subject and message body
  • Create a phone link with tel:
  • Offer a download with download
  • Choose the right link for the need

The email link: mailto:

A mailto: link opens the user's email client with the address pre-filled.
