input

A single-line control. The type decides validation, keyboard and autofill behaviour.

Syntax

<input type="…" name="…" id="…">

Example

Try it

<label for="name">Full name</label>
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" autocomplete="name" required>

Always give an input an id that a label can reference. On mobile, type="email" shows the right keyboard.

Reference pages are the quick answer. The course explains the why, shows the full example and ends with a challenge.
