Creating a HTML 5 page using "output" tag

Creating a HTML 5 page using "output" tag 

 
The HTML <output> tag is used for displaying or showing the result of a calculation or operation, such as one performed by a script.
 
The <output> tag was first introduced in HTML 5.
 
This walkthrough will guide you on how to create an HTML 5 page which can multiply two numbers. It can also be useful for creating the first HTML 5 page for many beginners.
  • First of all open a new text document.
  • Paste the following code in it.
  1. <!doctype html ><html ><head><title>Document title.</title>  
  1. undefined</head>undefined<body onload="multi()">  
  2. <h1>output tag Example.</h1>  
  3. <p>  
  4.     <b>Implementation of <output > in HTML5.</b>  
  5. </p>  
  6. <form action="roseindia.html" method="get" name="form">  
  7.     <label>Multiplication of two number:</label>  
  8.                    
  9.     <output name="result"></output>  
  10. </form>undefined</body>undefined</html>  
  • Now paste the following javascript code between the </title> and </head> tags.
    1. < script type = "text/javascript" >  
    2.  function multi() {  
    3.   a = parseInt(prompt("Enter first number.", 0));  
    4.   b = parseInt(prompt("Enter first number.", 0));  
    5.   document.forms["form"]["result"].value = a * b;  
    6.  } <  
    7.  /script>  
  • Now save the page as "First program.html".
Now you are ready to test your page by opening it (double-clicking it).
