Very new to html. I'm trying to create a "log in" page that has a button that links to another "sign up" html page. But I run into a problem, as I want my 3 buttons (log in, reset, sign up) to be on the same line.
The main form will link to the main website once logged in, while the "sign up" form button is supposed to send me to the sign-up.html page. If I make the forms separate, the "sign up" button will be in a new line, but if I make them nested, it will require me to fill the form.
Thanks!
<form>
<div>
<b> Email </b>
<input type="Email" placeholder="Enter Email" name="Email" required="">
<br><br>
<b>Password: </b>
<input type="Password" placeholder="Enter Password" name="Password" required="">
<br><br>
<input type="checkbox" unchecked="unchecked"> Remember me
<br><br>
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit">Log in</button>
<button type="Reset">Reset</button>
<form action="sign up.html">
<button>Sign Up</button>
</form>
</div>
</form>
Nested forms are forbidden in HTML. You should use a validator.
There is no need for the nested form to exist at all. You aren't collecting any data with it. Use a link instead. Apply CSS if you don't like the way it looks by default.

Trying to create a button for an email input. I have made it a few times but cannot make it the correct way here is what i am trying to make.
I have tried a few ways I can get the button and input fields there but how can I get the button to register the text "Sign Up"
<div class="email">
<p> Join our mailing list!</p>
<label for="email">Enter your email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email"> Sign Up
</div>
Check out the documentation! You need to wrap the "Sign Up"-text around a <button>-Tag like so:
<button>Sign Up</button>
You can add this line.
<button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
And if you are willing to style the Sign up Button. you can use the following code
<button type="submit" class="signupbtn">Sign Up</button>
I'm trying to redirect users to a pdf upon form submission however the link appears to be broken on initial arrival. The source code for the pdf appears first, however, if you refresh this page it displays correctly.
pdf destination
<form name="landing" method="POST" data-netlify="true" action="img/newsletter.pdf">
<div class="text-fields">
<h3>Email address</h3>
<input type="email" class="text-input email-input" placeholder="Enter your email" name="email">
</div>
<button class="btn-yellow" type="submit">Sign up</button>

I recently started HTML and made my first Website. I made bunch of lines of codes, and the last line is: <input type="submit" name="register" value="Register" action="Registered.html">. I wanted to this submit button named as "Register" to get me to the my "Registered.html" file but something isn't right. The button shows up, and it's valued as "Register" but `action="Registered.html" doesn't work. I hope you understand me, if you can, fix this for me.
The form element takes the action attribute, not the input:
<form action="Registered.html">
<input type="submit" name="register" value="Register">
</form>
<form action="/action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
notice the action is at the form..
refer https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_submit
In general form elements are used to send data to a server. It wraps around the elements which specifies the data, input or button elements, for instance. If you add a name and a value attribute to your input and button elements, you will send this name-value-pair to your server.
If you don’t need to send any (additional) data to your server, just use anchor elements:
Register
<form>
<input type="submit" formaction="Registered.html" value="Register">
</form>
The formaction attribute of the input tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.
I have an <a> link which will only open if I right click it and click on "open in a new tab. If i just click it normally it just puts a "?" after the rest of the link, like this: "http://localhost:8011/login.html?".
Code:
<div class="login-page">
<div class="form">
<form class="login-form">
<input type="text" placeholder="Username" />
<input type="password" placeholder="Password" />
<button class="login">login</button>
<p class="message">Not registered? Create an account</p>
</form>
</div>
</div>
If i put target="_self" it still doesn't work. The two files are definitely in the same folder.
Your HTML is invalid. It is forbidden to put a <button> inside an <a>. Use a validator.
The effect you see is due to error recovery reacting badly and your clicks being handled by different elements.
will only open if I right click it and click on "open in a new tab
This is what happens when you right click on the <a> element.
If i just click it normally it just puts a "?" after the rest of the link
This is what happens when you submit a form using a submit button (and the form has no successful controls in it, which is the case here because none of your controls have names).
If you want a link, then use a link and only a link. Get rid of the <button> element.
If you want something that looks like a button then first think about what message you are sending to the user. Buttons do things. Links go places. Giving the user a visual signal that they are doing something is likely to be wrong.
If you still want a link that looks like a button, then style it with CSS.
That said, having a link marked Login which doesn't submit the form is just confusing. You should probably:
Keep the <button>
Get rid of the <a>
Give your form controls name attributes
Make the form use method="POST"
… and then write server side code to process the data so the login form can be used to login to the site.
You can change your HTML form to be as follows so that the form is submitted when login is clicked:
<div class="form">
<form class="login-form" method="POST" action="index.html">
<!-- user inputs -->
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" />
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
<!-- your submit button -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="login">
<!-- your other link -->
<p class="message">Not registered? Create an account</p>
</form>
</div>
This approach will be better than the current one for creating a login form.
This way you still have your button that will redirect to index.html without having to use a messy approach with <a> and <button>.
It's because you've a button, and it's trying to submit the form.
Try using bootstrap and give the <a> tag some classes, like this:
<div class="login-page">
<div class="form">
<form class="login-form">
<input type="text" placeholder="Username" />
<input type="password" placeholder="Password" />
login
<p class="message">Not registered? Create an account</p>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Or just give style to your <a> by css, but if you use the button, then you're submitting the form instead clicking the link.
EDIT: you could also wrap the <a> inside the button, so the link on the <a> will execute first instead of submitting the form
<button class="login">login</button>
I have an html form with the action linking to a remotely hosted aspx form. The html form mimics all the input names, ids, values, etc. of the aspx form.
After submitting the html login form with correct login data, instead of processing the data and redirecting to the target link, the page links to the raw login form with only the username data entered. Upon filling in the correct information again, the user is able to log in.
By checking the function of the other instances of the same login form on the site and encountering the same problem, I surmised that the issue is inherent in the remote aspx file, not the html form.
The form was working until about a week ago, when it promptly started behaving like this without any changes made to the code.
The live site is at http://blinqphoto.com
Thank you for any responses, this has me stumped.
Please find the html form and corresponding aspx form below.

I believe this is due to the .NET event validation. If you look closely, the value of the __EVENTVALIDATION form field is not always exactly the same. This is used to validate the postback - to check that it is not coming from another URL for example, which is exactly what you are doing.
You need to disable the event validation for the login.aspx page.
Page.EnableEventValidation = false;
Is there a way to disable Event Validation for an entire page?
Note that disable event validation can possibly make your page more vulnerable.
