HTML text boxes are easy to create and can be used for user feedback or displaying non-interactive text. They can vary in complexity, from simple input fields to large forms with a “submit” button. They can also be used to present information in a separate box on a web page.
Within the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) used to create code for Internet websites, it’s quite simple to create an HTML text box. This can refer to two different types of objects made on a web page, although it is usually a box where a user can enter text on a site. That box could be part of a user feedback system, where visitors to a site can type comments and then send them to the host. An HTML text box can also be an object on a web page used to display text, created by the website developer, that is not designed to be interactive.
The purpose of an HTML text box can vary depending on how it is designed and coded into the structure of a website. One of the more common types of text box is an object on a website that provides a form into which data can be entered. Creating this HTML text box is quite simple; it requires only a few lines of code to indicate the format of the box and any additional information presented with it. For example, a very small area can be designated as an input field for someone’s name, and the code creates not just the field, but a label that instructs someone to enter a name.
You can create a more complicated HTML text box by providing additional information in your website code. For example, you could create a large form to give visitors to a web page a field to enter feedback or comments about your site. The code for this area can indicate the size of the field and the default number of lines provided within it. This type of HTML text box can also include a “submit” button that sends the data entered in the field to another page for further use.
Standard website content can also take the form of an HTML text box, usually as a non-interactive object. For example, a site’s web page designer might choose to present information to visitors in a box that is separated from the rest of the page. This can be created as an HTML text box with a small border and a title or header at the top. Additional information can then be typed into the source code for the field and is displayed within the box on the live page. This is often used to dissect certain data on a page or to indicate a short description on a site.
