Buttons in HTML Forms

[del.icio.us ][Digg it ][Furl ][reddit ][Spurl ][Yahoo MyWeb ][StumbleUpon ]

Simple HTML forms usually require a Button to "do" something with the data that the user has entered - Coding buttons in forms is really quite simple and can be acheived with minimal fuss.

The code for a button like this



is as follows <INPUT type="submit" value="Go!">

How the form handles the data depends on the 'method' used - in the form tag i.e. <Method="post">

HTML Color Codes

[del.icio.us ][Digg it ][Furl ][reddit ][Spurl ][Yahoo MyWeb ][StumbleUpon ]

HTML Color codes neednt be difficult to understand. In HTML colors are normally referred to in one of two ways - either by name e.g. "White" or by a hexadecimal code eg "#FFFFFF".

What are Hex Codes?

Hex codes are made up of 3 pairs of alphanumeric characters - these three pairs represent the combination of Red Green Blue used to produce the color.

Colors can be used to great effect with CSS and there are a variety of style attributes that can be used. For example

* Background-color - used by CSS to set a background color of a div
* Color - used to specific the color of text used within a div

Safe HTML colors

In the past where colors displayed by browsers was more of an issue a list of 216 Web Safe Colors was produced as a Web standard. This list included a wide ranging pallette (which can be see at http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp). These days this is less of an issue and sites such as http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html show pallettes of over 1000 colors (as ever thought ensure that you test your pages with different browsers to ensure your site looks as good as you hope!)
