Introduction
In this article, we will see how to create a form using HTML Tables. First, we learn how to create controls like TextBox and DropDownList, then we use them together in our table to create a form where user information is saved.
Table format
<table border="1" cellpadding="10px" cellspacing="5px">
<tr>
<td>row1 , cell1 </td>
<td>row1 , cell2 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row2 , cell1 </td>
<td>row2 , cell2 </td>
</tr>
</table>
TextBox
<form>
Name: <input type="text" name="Name" /><br />
Father's Name: <input type="text" name="FatherName" />
</form>
Textarea
<textarea rows="20" cols="40">
Write description here.
</textarea>
ListBox
<select name="list1" id="Select" size="2" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">item1</option>
<option value="2">item2</option>
<option value="0">All</option>
</select>
CheckBox
<form action="">
<input type="checkbox" name="Car" value="Honda" /> I have Honda car. <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="Car" value="Maruti" /> I have a Maruti car.
</form>
DropDownList
<form action="">
<select name="City">
<option value="Delhi">Delhi</option>
<option value="Jaipur">Jaipur</option>
<option value="Udaipur" selected="selected">Udaipur</option>
</select>
</form>
Button
<form action="">
<input type="button" value="Click me!">
</form>
Now we use them all together to create a form like this.
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
</div>
<h2 align="center"> Job Details:</h2>
<table id="table1"; cellspacing="5px" cellpadding="5%"; align="center">
<tr>
<td align="right" class="style1">Job Title:</td>
<td class="style1"><input type="text" name="Job Title" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Description:</td>
<td><textarea rows="3" cols="15" name="Description">
<p>Brief Description should have atmost 500 characters</p></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Company Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Company Name"></td>
<td align="right">Contact number:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Contact number"></td>
<td align="right">Contact person:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Contact person"></td>
<td align="right">Email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Email"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Work Status</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Full Time</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Part Time</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Per Dim</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">Others</td>
<td align="right">Salary</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Salary"></td>
<td><select name="cars">
<option value="Rupees">Rupees</option>
<option value="Euro">Euro</option>
<option value="US Dollar" selected="selected">US Dollar</option>
</select></td>
<td><select name="time">
<option value="Yearly" selected="selected">Yearly</option>
<option value="Half Yearly">Half Yearly</option>
</select></td>
<td align="right">Experience(Years)</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Experience"></td>
<td align="right">Locations</td>
<td><input type="text" name="locations"></td>
<td align="right">Qualifications:</td>
<td><select name="drop1" size="4" id="Qualifiation" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">Any</option>
<option value="2">High School</option>
<option value="3">Associate</option>
<option value="4">Pre Bachelors</option>
<option value="5">Bachelors</option>
</select></td>
<td><input type="button" value="ADD>>"><input type="button" value="<<Remove"></td>
<td><select name="drop2" id="SelectedQualifiation" size="4" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">Any</option>
</select></td>
<td><input type="button" value="Submit" align="right"></td>
<td><input type="button" value="Reset"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
Finally, our output looks like this.
