Why do we use input elements

HTML input elements are used to create interactive controls for web-based forms to accept data from the user.

They allow users to interact with a webpage and provide information to the website owner or developer.

The input element is defined by using the input tag which is a self-closing tag.

<input type=""/>

Type of Input element:-

There are several different types of input elements, each with its specific purpose and attributes. Some of them explaining here....................

Text input:-

text input is the most commonly used input element, which allows users to enter a single line of text.

we can use text input for fields such as names, addresses etc.

it can be customized with the size and max. length attributes to specify the size of the input field and the maximum number of characters that can be entered. and with the help of a placeholder users can get a hint of what kind of text is expected in the field.

Button input:-

Button type input defines a clickable button.

If you don't specify a value, you get an empty button:

the value attribute contains a string that is used as the button's label.

you can disabled a button by using the global attribute on it

Checkbox input:-

The checkbox input element is similar to the radio input, but it allows the user to select multiple options.

In each checkbox, the input element is also accompanied by a label that describes the option.

To make a checkbox checked by default, you give it the checked attribute.

Date input:-

In this type of input is used to take date as input from the user. You can set a default value for the input with a date inside the value attribute, like so:

You can use the min and max attributes to restrict the dates that can be chosen by the user.

In the following example, we set a minimum date of "2000-01-01" and a maximum date of "2025-12-31" :

Password input:-

Another common input element is password input, which is used to accept a password from the user. The password is displayed as a series of asterisks or dots to protect the user's privacy. The password input element can also be customized with the size and max length attributes.

File input:-

In addition to these basic input elements, there are also several more specialized input elements available in HTML. These include the file input element, which allows the user to upload a file to the server.

Search input:-

In this type of input the user can search. The value attribute contains a string representing the value contained in the search field

Email input:-

The placeholder attribute is a string that provides a brief hint to the user as to what kind of information is expected in the field. It should be a word or short phrase that demonstrates the expected type of data, rather than an explanatory message. The text must not include carriage returns or line feeds

Radio input:-

Radio type of input is used to take a single value from multiple choices of values, use name property in all choices if you want only one option to select

Submit input:-

defines a button for submitting the form data to a form-handler

Time input:-

A string containing the value of the time entered into the input

Range input:-

The range input is best when you have calculations associated with it. The flexibility of sliding the controls and seeing the result 'live' is unmatchable.

you can use max. and min. attribute in range input.

Number input:-

In this type of input field, we take a number as input from the user.

You can set a default value for the input by including a number inside the value attribute and you can also set the maximum and minimum number.
