Welcome to this awesome section on forms. And I know that sounds simple, you're probably going, "Clyde...
I know that a form is just HTML words, and we just use it as a wrapper". Well,
yes, a form is a wrapper for all of your form widgets.
We know that.
But I want us to dig deeper into what it means, into what it does, into the attributes available to us...
that we can insert onto this form.
Never get intimidated when it comes to coding.
It can be quite daunting, but take a step back and break things down.
Let's do that with a form. We know forms are just HTML markup. It's just HTML markup. That's all.
There's nothing else to it.
And we know forms are wrapped within the <form> tag. And going further down...
we know that the <form> element is just a container for other form controls, for other widgets.
Here are a few examples.
Again, don't get intimidated by all of these.
We're going to go through each one of these in this course...
and a whole bunch more! The point I'm trying to make is that the complexity of the form is purely...
up to you.
You can create a simple form or you can really go to town and create something very, very complex. And
all of these different widgets, we're going to be talking about later in this course.
But right now, in this section, I want us to focus purely on the <form> element itself.
Don't let the simplicity fool you...
it's very, very powerful.
So, stay motivated.
Grab a coffee â˜• if...
that's what you're into, and I'll see you in the next lecture.
