Range Input: type range attribute , min , max, step attribute

 HTML FORMS

Using an <input type="number"> is great if we want to allow users to type in any number of their choosing. But, if we wanted to limit what numbers our users could type we might consider using a different type value. Another option we could use is setting type to "range" which creates a slider.

To set the minimum and maximum values of the slider we assign values to the min and max attribute of the <input>. We could also control how smooth and fluid the slider works by assigning the step attribute a value. Smaller step values will make the slider move more fluidly, whereas larger step values will make the slider move more noticeably. Take a look at the code to create a slider:

<form>
  <label for="volume"> Volume Control</label>
  <input id="volume" name="volume" type="range" min="0" max="100" step="1">
</form>

The code above renders:rendered slider for volume control

In the example above, every time the slider moves by one, the value of the <input>‘s value attribute changes.


Instructions:

1.Let’s give our users an option for how they want to cook their patties. We can do this by adding a slider to the existing <form>.

In the <section> with class="cooked", add an <input> element. Set the id and name to "doneness". Also, set the type attribute to "range".

Since our <form> is getting long, you might have to scroll down to find the provided <section>.


2.For the newly created <input> set the:

  • min attribute to "0".
  • max attribute to "5".
  • step attribute to "0.5".

Hint:

Add the attributes to the opening tag of the <input> element.

Password Input: type password attribute and relationship between name and id attribute of input tag

Image
  HTML FORMS Password Input Think about all those times we have to put sensitive information, like a password or PIN, into a  <form> . We wouldn’t want our information to be seen by anyone peeking over our shoulder! Luckily, we have the  type="password"  attribute for  <input> ! An  <input type ="password">  element will replace input text with another character like an asterisk (*) or a dot (•). The code below provides an example of how to create a password field: <form>    <label for = "user-password" > Password: </label>    <input type = "password" id = "user-password" name = "user-password" > </form> After a user types into the field, it would look like: Even though the password field obscures the text of the password, when the form is submitted, the value of the text is sent. In other words, if “hunter2” is typed into the password field, “user-password=hunter2” is sent a...

Adding a Label: label tag, for attribute and id attribute for input tag.

  HTML FORMS Adding a Label In the previous exercise we created an  <input>  element but we didn’t include anything to explain what the  <input>  is used for. For a user to properly identify an  <input>  we use the appropriately named  <label>  element. The  <label>  element has an opening and closing tag and displays text that is written between the opening and closing tags. To associate a  <label>  and an  <input> , the  <input>  needs an  id  attribute. We then assign the  for  attribute of the  <label>  element with the value of the  id  attribute of  <input> , like so: <form action = "/example.html" method = "POST" >    <label for = "meal" > What do you want to eat? </label>    <br>    <input type = "text" name = "food" id = "meal" > ...
