This question is very basic and simple.
How can I make it where the textarea will not show previous input.
<form action="" method="post">
<textarea> Person's input </textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="post">
</form>
After using the textarea a few times I started noticing the previous input I've entered. Is there any way to get rid of that?
You can set the autocomplete attribute of an input tag to off to prevent the browser from showing the previous inputs.
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" />
And for textarea
<textarea autocomplete="off">text</textarea>
You can also use autocomplete for a complete form.

I got a form where I'm not allowed to edit the form directly. However I'm able to add etc. Is it possible to add autocomplete="off"-attribute without editing directly into the form?
This is my form:
<form action="/action_page.php">
<input type="text" name="firstname">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Hope that was understandable.
I suggest you to use <button> for the submit instead of <input> and give the tag an id .
Try this javascript:
function off_ac(){
document.getElementById('text_input').autocomplete = 'off';
}
<form action="/action_page.php">
<input id="text_input" type="text" name="firstname">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Autocomplete will be overruled by most browsers. A workaround is to change the text Field to text area. Set it to one row high and x letter Width, and it will look almost like a text Field.
Input works perfect with autocomplete. But not textarea
<form action="/action_page.php" autocomplete="on">
Input with autocompelte<input type="text" name="inputName"><br>
Textarea with autocomplete<textarea name="textAreaName"></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Fill in and submit the form, then reload the page to see how autocomplete works.
I've tried to use an example from https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_autocomplete but with textarea
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..

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 am learning how to make forms and made this for practice. When I have labels out it and try to click into any of the form elements, it selects the previous one. For example, if I click into the password input box, it sends me to the username input box. When I remove the labels the bug goes away. I'm pretty sure labels aren't supposed to do this. The console isn't showing any errors so I'm confused to why this is acting up.
Here is my code:
<form action="">
<fieldset>
<label>username<label>
<input type="text" id="userInput"/>
<label>password<label>
<input type="password" id="passwordInput"/>
<label>Hidden<label>
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenInput" value="I can't tell you"/>
<label>Text Area<label>
<textArea id="areaInput" rows="10" cols="40">
This is a big area with lots of text.
</textArea>
<input type="button" onClick="" value="submit"/>
<fieldset>
<form>
Looks like you are not closing your label tags, so you are making another label. You need to close the <label> by using </label> - just a typo!
You're not closing out your <label> tag. Use the / slash on the closing tag:
<label>username</label>
I have a simple form:
<form action="/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q" value="">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="search">
</form>
When submitting the url becomes `/search?q=Loremipsum&search=search
I really don't want that last bit, this seems pretty common problem and think it could be solved without js, but I realized that even google.com has this problem when you click on the search button. (maybe they don't care much about ugly urls?)
search?hl=en&source=hp&q=Loremipsum&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&..
Is there a way to prevent the value of the submit button to be excluded without javascript?
I see in Stack overflow the search is ?q= but they don't have a submit button.
You can omit name attribute in the final input like this:
<form action="/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q" value="">
<input type="submit" value="search">
</form>
Should do the trick. Keeping value attribute allows you to manipulate what text is displayed on the button.
For the record, you can also omit the submit button if you like, and the form will submit when you press return after typing your search term. (This is how the Stack Overflow search box works).
