WEBVTT 0 00:00.480 --> 00:07.620 Welcome to this awesome section on forms. And I know that sounds simple, you're probably going, "Clyde... 1 00:07.620 --> 00:12.780 I know that a form is just HTML words, and we just use it as a wrapper". Well, 2 00:12.780 --> 00:16.710 yes, a form is a wrapper for all of your form widgets. 3 00:17.040 --> 00:17.700 We know that. 4 00:18.060 --> 00:23.790 But I want us to dig deeper into what it means, into what it does, into the attributes available to us... 5 00:23.790 --> 00:25.710 that we can insert onto this form. 6 00:26.250 --> 00:28.500 Never get intimidated when it comes to coding. 7 00:28.500 --> 00:32.550 It can be quite daunting, but take a step back and break things down. 8 00:33.000 --> 00:40.860 Let's do that with a form. We know forms are just HTML markup. It's just HTML markup. That's all. 9 00:41.010 --> 00:42.000 There's nothing else to it. 10 00:42.690 --> 00:48.300 And we know forms are wrapped within the <form> tag. And going further down... 11 00:48.300 --> 00:53.850 we know that the <form> element is just a container for other form controls, for other widgets. 12 00:54.190 --> 00:55.620 Here are a few examples. 13 00:56.830 --> 00:58.800 Again, don't get intimidated by all of these. 14 00:58.830 --> 01:01.020 We're going to go through each one of these in this course... 15 01:01.350 --> 01:07.770 and a whole bunch more! The point I'm trying to make is that the complexity of the form is purely... 16 01:07.770 --> 01:08.340 up to you. 17 01:08.340 --> 01:15.060 You can create a simple form or you can really go to town and create something very, very complex. And 18 01:15.060 --> 01:19.020 all of these different widgets, we're going to be talking about later in this course. 19 01:19.230 --> 01:27.180 But right now, in this section, I want us to focus purely on the <form> element itself. 20 01:27.510 --> 01:29.220 Don't let the simplicity fool you... 21 01:29.220 --> 01:30.450 it's very, very powerful. 22 01:30.660 --> 01:32.220 So, stay motivated. 23 01:32.310 --> 01:33.060 Grab a coffee ☕ if... 24 01:33.390 --> 01:36.120 that's what you're into, and I'll see you in the next lecture.
