OK, I've gone for a walk. I actually forgot my Gorrilapod, so I'm literally just hand-holding 🖐 this camera.
Sorry if it's a bit wobbly. But I was just thinking, you know, we're going into a section now, um, all about...
forms.
And I've got a guy here, on the road...
I was walking to the shops and I just thought of this cool analogy...
so I'm going to show you.
And it's just around this corner...
let me show you.
Yep, it's just around that corner. And yeah, I guess, you know, we need to think of forms as literally...
just a container, a wrapper, the same with the fieldset element.
These things are not in and of themselves very useful for a user.
You know, a user doesn't even see the <form> element nor the <fieldset>. Whew 😪, that's a bit of a hill ⛰️.
So this is a point I'm trying to make...
I'm trying to make the point that you've got to think about this <form> element, this <fieldset> element...
as containers 🥫, as a wrapper and everything else...
needs to kind-of fit into it...
and when they're all combined, it's going to create something truly awesome, which is what I want to...
show you now.
And this is what I wanted to show you, how ingenious is this table right here?
Look at it.
Heeey! See this string.
And this is the analogy I thought of, bear with me, bear with me. The frame of this table, this overhang...
here...
that is like the <form> element.
The tabletop itself is like the <fieldset> element. And look at the funky leg.
I just love it.
Look at that funky leg, that is like maybe a DIV tag, or an input element within the form, or a...
textarea.
How cool is this this? This, by the way, is a chair 🪑, but it is actually a water meter.
And of course, there's the guest chair...
gotta have the guests over 🤣.
So there you go.
This is my humble abode.
But the point I'm trying to make is a very simple one...
and that is, by themselves, things can seem very random and out of place.
In fact, they can seem disjointed...
it can seem kind of pointless.
But, when everything comes together in a synchronous way, magic happens.
And this is what the point, or the analogy I'm trying to make, is - the <form> element is literally just...
a wrapper.
And you've got lots of little random elements within a form, a lot of different widgets, inputs...
div tags, UL elements, etc etc. By themselves...
they're pretty meaningless,
but when you put them all together, it can create quite an awesome structure.
So there you have it.
I hope you enjoy this section on forms.
It's going to be epic. Have fun.
And I'll see...
you now. Just quickly, before I head home again, I just want to say this table is actually for selling...
fruit and vegetables.
That's what the guys use it for.
So it's quite ingenious...
I thought. You know, they've done an awesome job with very little. So there you have it. Hope you're having fun.
And I'll see you in the next lecture.
