Struggling with Forms in HTML...
H

Hi, I’m Harvey Evans — a self-taught developer learning web and app development. Coding Retro is where I document my daily coding journey, share lessons learned, and publish projects along the way.

This one was difficult.

Whilst I’m sure this may be trivial for more experienced coders, and perhaps it’s easier in CSS or JS, my head could not wrap around how to code a form correctly.

I understand the individual aspects of it such as selecting which type, using ‘for’ to associate a label to a input type. But I just found it rather clunky to create and really tedious.

Maybe it is just me but who knows. This has been my first main struggle coding HTML. Thus, I would like to dedicate some time this week building my knowledge on forms and actually getting the hang of it.


Progress

  • 189/214 Steps Complete : HTML

I only have accessibility and the quiz left now and then I can move onto CSS. My goal of finishing HTML by the end of the week is now almost a certain haha.

I’m excited to get to CSS as from my limited knowledge on it, it’s a way to make webpages more hospitable and get a bit of personalisation in there. Which will be cool.


Aims for the Week:

  • Complete HTML and get a start on CSS

  • Create a dummy form website
