Tutorial For HTML Text Boxes
When you want visitors to your Web site to sign up for something, log in or answer a question, you have to have a text box that they can type in. HTML text boxes are part of a form, which is created with the "<form>" tag. The text field is part of the "Input" element. You should give each text field a name with the "name" attribute. This allows the server to process the information when it is submitted.
