Im doing an assignment for uni, and the html part we have to find out how to do by ourselves. I have been working on this for several hours, and unless im completely html stupid, then i cant find out how to do these things anywhere.

Im working with Microsoft Web Visual Developer. Creating a HTML document.

I need to find out how to create a form element named "form 1" which will be used to post user information to another file.

I also need (this one i cant figure out for the life of me) to put in a textbox(not text area), named counter which is disabled with a default value of 0 and a size of 5 - the size part i know how to do, its just the rest im having trouble with.

I also need to figure out how to do a multiline text box named msg

As for the buttons, ive got them done, i just need to know how to link them to perform tasks?? (are they like macros)

I have to use the submit button to trigger the post of the user information
and i have to use the reset button to reset both the text boxes
and i have to use the close button to close down the HTML document when clicked


PLEASE CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH ANY PART OF THIS IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

man im so confuzzled atm.

Please see the FAQ entry How do I use forms?

So what is a text box? An INPUT?

What kind of buttons?

Are you required to use that? Otherwise I'd recommend a plain text editor. The time you'd save on not having to learn how to tame a monster program could be better spent on learning HTML.

Thanks for your responses guys i really appreciate it, ill go and have a look through those things now. And yip we do have to use the web developer (thrown us into the river i reckon)

and they are just normal buttons where you click them and they perform a task

There are buttons and buttons. For example...






They all work differently.
