I have this with many options on it, i have nearly 30, i would love to know if another way can be used to make him more readable ?
Thank you.
<p>
<label for="subject">subject :</label>
<select id="subject" name="subject">
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
<option value=""></option>
</select>
</p>
According to the HTML5, the closing tag for the element is optional if it's followed by another option tag, or if it's the last element of the element.
An option element’s end tag may be omitted if the option element is
immediately followed by another option element, or if it is
immediately followed by an optgroup element, or if there is no more
content in the parent element.
So you can write it like this to be more readable
<p>
<label for="subject">subject :</label>
<select id="subject" name="subject">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
<option value="">
</select>
</p>
As far as I know this is also true for HTML 4.

I was learning how to use the select tag in HTML to create dropdowns. And then I found out that dropdown selections could be sent as an email. After some experimenting with the tag, I figured out that I couldn't 'not include' the 'None' keyword in my email if the user hadn't made a dropdown selection. This was very frustrating.
<html>
<body>
<form action="mailto:test#gmail.com">
<label for="cars">Choose a car:</label>
<select name="cars" id="cars">
<option value="None">None</None>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
<label for="bike">Choose a bike:</label>
<select name="cars" id="cars">
<option value="None">None</None>
<option value="bike1">Volvo</option>
<option value="bike2">Saab</option>
</select>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
(Code Credits: W3 Schools)
Basically, when I make 1 out of the 2 dropdown selections and leave the other as none when I click submit the label with the value None is included
For example, If I choose Audi for Car dropdown selection and none for Bike selection, in the mail it's displayed as:
cars=volvo
bike=None
or something like that. How do I not include 'none' in the email if the user doesn't make a selection for that particular label?
Apologies for not framing the question clearly
required the select tag and empty the first element to set as a placeholder
<select name="cars" id="cars" required>
<option value="">None</option>
complete code will be like follows:
<html>
<body>
<form action="mailto:test#gmail.com">
<label for="cars">Choose a car:</label>
<select name="cars" id="cars" required>
<option value="">None</None>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
<label for="bike">Choose a bike:</label>
<select name="cars" id="cars" required>
<option value="">None</None>
<option value="bike1">Volvo</option>
<option value="bike2">Saab</option>
</select>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
i hope this will be helpful for you
I have to connect a tag, three tags and a that contains a slider to a that is connected to a database.
I have made all of the elements but they are in no way connected to each other, and pressing the button does nothing.
Here is the form where the user types their points:
<form id="pointsform">
Points:<input type="number">
</form>
Then I have the user select a subject:
<select id="subject-selection">
<option value="Math">Math</option>
<option value="Physics">Physics</option>
<option value="Chemistry">Chemistry</option>
<option value="English">English</option>
</select>
Then they choose the year:
<select id="year-selection">
<option value="2019">2019</option>
<option value="2018">2018</option>
<option value="2017">2017</option>
<option value="2016">2016</option>
</select>
Then they choose the season:
<select id="season-selection">
<option value="Spring">Kevät</option>
<option value="Fall">Syksy</option>
</select>
Then they can choose a value from a slider:
<div class="slidecontainer">
<p id="slider">How strictly did your teacher grade:</p>
<input type="range" min="1" max="100" value="50">
Under all of that there is a button:
<button id="compare-button">Compare</button>
I would like to connect all the user inputted answers to the button, so when I click the button, it interacts with the database.
You simply have to wrap everything into a single form like this:
<form id="pointsform">
<input type="number">
<select id="subject-selection">
<option value="Math">Math</option>
<option value="Physics">Physics</option>
<option value="Chemistry">Chemistry</option>
<option value="English">English</option>
</select>
<select id="year-selection">
<option value="2019">2019</option>
<option value="2018">2018</option>
<option value="2017">2017</option>
<option value="2016">2016</option>
</select>
<select id="season-selection">
<option value="Spring">Kevät</option>
<option value="Fall">Syksy</option>
</select>
<div class="slidecontainer">
<p id="slider">How strictly did your teacher grade:</p>
<input type="range" min="1" max="100" value="50">
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Compare">
</form>
Put all the form controls inside the <form> element, not just the <input type="number">.
For some reason, the required attribute didn't work. Where did I go wrong?
I've already tried putting another <option> with blank value
<form action="">
<select required>
<optgroup label="test">
<option value="">choose</option>
<option value="red">red</option>
<option value="yellow">yellow</option>
<option value="green">green</option>
<option value="grey">grey</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
It works without optgroup DEMO
<form method="POST" action="">
<select required>
<option value="">choose</option>
<option value="red">red</option>
<option value="yellow">yellow</option>
<option value="green">green</option>
<option value="grey">grey</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Anyway, there is poor support of the required attribute in browsers
I use Dreamweaver to write my html code, but now have run into a problem.
I have created an enquiry form which contains several different fields, but when I try to validate the form using Window | Behavior | Validate Form, it only shows my "firstname", "lastname", "Datepicker1", "Datepicker2" as well as the "Comments" field.
I want to make sure that the telephone, email and select fields are required and will be filled by a number and an email address. It worked fine when I made the contact form, but for some reason it does not in the enquiry.
My code is as follows:
<form action="../../enquiryform.php" method="post" id="enquiry">
<h1>ENQUIRE ABOUT<br><span style="color:#816122">VILLA 2610</span></h1>
<input type="hidden" name="villaid" id="villaid" value="2610">
<br>
Arrival Date<br>
<input type="text" name="arrivaldate" id="Datepicker1">
<br>Departure Date<br>
<input type="text" name="departuredate" id="Datepicker2"><br>
First Name
<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname"><br>
Last Name
<input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname"><br>
Telephone
<input type="tel" name="tel" id="tel"><br>
Email
<input type="email" name="email" id="email"><br>
<div class="leftcolumn">Adults<br>
<select name="adults" id="adults">
<option value=""> </option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>

<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10+">10+</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="rightcolumn">Children<br>
<select name="children" id="children">
<option value=""> </option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10+">10+</option>
</select>
</div>
Comments (optional)<br>
<textarea name="comments" id="comments" wrap="soft" style="width:150px; height:100px;"></textarea><br>
<p class="antispam">Leave this empty: <input name="url" type="text" id="url" /></p>
<input type="submit" value="Send" style="background-color:#aa802c; color:#FFFFFF; border-radius:5px; text-align:center; cursor:pointer;"><br><br>
I have added the following inside the starting form bracket:
onSubmit="MM_validateForm('firstname','','R','lastname','','R');return document.MM_returnValue"
But what should I use for a telephone number, email address as well as the 2 select options that I have?
My suggestion is
onSubmit="MM_validateForm('firstname','','R','lastname','','R','tel','','RisNum','email','','RisEmail',);return document.MM_returnValue"
But how do I add that I require for my viewers to select children and adults options?
And are my thoughts above correct?
Why don't you use the require attribute on input tag like this
Telephone
<input type="tel" name="tel" id="tel" required>

And the desired design is this :
http://d.pr/i/WZ0U
The problem is, I tried to align this by adding padding and a width to the labels, but given that the radio buttons have their own label (male and female), it also increase the space between these buttons, which isn't desired.
How can I style this ?
Also, is the use of 3rd label for "gender" really appropriate, since each radio button already has their own label ?
Give the "odd" label a class name and style it separately.
Also, it better form to use a styled unordered list as a container than DIVs.
See: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/prettyaccessibleforms
add classes to the labels, for example if radio boxes labels need different styling then other labels add a specific class to those labels:
<label class="radio">text</label>
<label class="input">text</label>
...
then use the classes in css:
instead of
label {css code}
use
.radio {css code}
and so on so you can give different css to different labels.
