Input Elements in HTML

Introduction

Input elements in HTML are used to allow users to input data on a web page. They are a fundamental part of most web forms, where users enter data such as their name, email address, password, and other information.

Most commonly used elements

Here are some of the most commonly used input elements in HTML:

-<input type="text"> - This creates a text input field, where users can enter text, such as their name, address, or other information.

-<input type="password"> - This creates a password input field, where the user's input is obscured by replacing each character with an asterisk or a bullet. This is used for entering sensitive information like passwords.

-<input type="email"> - This creates an email input field, where the user's input is validated to ensure it matches the format of an email address.

-<input type="checkbox"> - This creates a checkbox input field, where the user can select one or more options from a list of choices.

-<input type="radio"> - This creates a radio button input field, where the user can select only one option from a list of choices.

-<input type="number"> - This creates a numeric input field, where the user can enter a number. This type of input field can include a step attribute to allow for fine-grained control over the range of values the user can enter.

-<input type="file"> - This creates a file input field, where the user can browse their local file system to select a file to upload to the server.

-<input type="range"> - This input type lets users enter a range number whose exact value is not important which displays as a range widget having a default value in the middle. It also takes the min and max to define the range of acceptable values.
