HTML Form Post

HTML Forms




I've never used HTML forms in a website before. Actually, I just learned about them a few weeks ago when I was reading an HTML tutorial on w3schools.com. I've always wondered how much work it was to create pages with controls like buttons and text fields. I guess it really is quite simple using HTML forms.


Here are some examples:



Some radio buttons on a form:


Honda
Acura



Some checkboxes on a form:


Bike
Car
Airplane

There is much more you can do with forms, but I need to get back to work and earn more money!

CSS Post

CSS


I tried writing a post using a style tag to define some CSS selectors, but that didn't work. I can use inline styles to get the same results, which I did for the title above.









This is a table with some inline stylesThis cell has a cool border
Blah blah blahBlah blah blah

Post for Posts Sake!

Me blogger, me post. That is a what a caveman would write on his blog (if such a person ever existed). I don't doubt that people have lived in caves. Remember Tom Hanks on Cast Away? Or King David? I just am not persuaded that homo habilis proves that cavemen existed. I don't think anyone without a vested interest in a purely naturalistic theory of origins would settle for part of a skull.

I don't follow the logic that says if you observe changes in the wings of fruit flies in a few generations, then give it a few million generations and you'll get people! More probably you'll either get fruit flies with different wings, or fruit flies with longer legs, or maybe even fruit flies that look just like the fruit flies you started with.

With that waste of a couple of paragraphs of thought, I will turn to more interesting things. Back to the web!

I've been reading over some tutorials on CSS and a bit of HTML and JavaScript. I did manage to learn some CSS, which I'm finding is pretty cool. For example:

THIS IS SPACEY


Normal text, right justified




Some great tutorials can be found on w3schools. It's good stuff for beginners or people like me who haven't written any HTML since the college days.

Thats it for now.
