G.5. More Complex XHTML Forms
In the preceding section, we introduced basic forms. In this section, we introduce elements and attributes for creating more complex forms. Figure G.4 contains a form that solicits user feedback about a Web site.
Figure G.4. Form with text areas, a password box and checkboxes.
The textarea element (lines 3739) inserts a multiline text box, called a text area, into the form. The number of rows is specified with the rows attribute, and the number of columns (i.e., characters) is specified with the cols attribute. In this example, the textarea is four rows high and 36 characters wide. To display default text in the text area, place the text between the </tt></span></span> and <span style="color: #000000;"><span><tt> tags. Default text can be specified in other input types, such as text boxes, by using the value attribute
The "password" input in lines 4647 inserts a password box with the specified size. A password box allows users to enter sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and passwords, by "masking" the information input with asterisks (*). The actual value input is sent to the Web server, not the characters that mask the input.
Lines 5471 introduce the checkbox form element. Checkboxes enable users to select from a set of options. When a user selects a checkbox, a check mark appears in the check box. Otherwise, the checkbox remains empty. Each "checkbox" input creates a new checkbox. Checkboxes can be used individually or in groups. Checkboxes that belong to a group are assigned the same name (in this case, "thingsliked").
We continue our discussion of forms by presenting a third example that introduces several additional form elements from which users can make selections (Fig. G.5). In this example, we introduce two new input types. The first type is the radio button (lines 7694) specified with type "radio". Radio buttons are similar to checkboxes, except that only one radio button in a group of radio buttons may be selected at any time. The radio buttons in a group all have the same name attributes and are distinguished by their different value attributes. The attribute-value pair checked = "checked" (line 77) indicates which radio button, if any, is selected initially. The checked attribute also applies to checkboxes.
Figure G.5. Form including radio buttons and a drop-down list.

The select element (lines 104117) provides a drop-down list of items from which the user can select an item. The name attribute identifies the drop-down list. The option element (lines 105116) adds items to the drop-down list. The option element's selected attribute specifies which item initially is displayed as the selected item.
