Form Elements

Form Elements are all those elements which are used to input information in an HTML form. These elements are: 

Element Name

Element

HTML Tag

Dropdown list

<Select> (no size specified)

List box

<Select SIZE=2>

Button

<Input TYPE=SUBMIT>

Radio Button

 

<Input TYPE=RADIO>

Checkbox

 

<Input TYPE=CHECKBOX>

Single Line Edit Field

<Input TYPE=TEXT>

Multi Line Edit Field

<Textarea>

As you can see, the HTML which specifies these elements is not an image, but rather special tags which the browser interprets into the different elements. This is why each browser renders these differently and why they may not necessarily be the same size in all browsers.

To take a look at some of the browser discrepancies follow the Browsers and Forms link below.  For hints on how to align form elements, follow the Aligning Elements link.
