Here we go for the part 2 of HTML which is learn about how to create a form.
Since our lecturer need us to do a lab exercise and submit on spot, I just share what code I created.
I used to practice HTML in click here to practice
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<title>Page Title</title>

<body>
<h3> Registration Form : Dance Club </h3>
<form action="insert.asp" method="post">

<table border="2" align="left" width="30%">

So the result should be
So far, what I highlight in creating HTML form is..
Firstly, just categories what type of input you want to create.
Just like the example above.
Name, IC No - TEXT
Address - TEXTAREA
Gender - radio button
Dance Type - check box
Competition - SELECT
Password - password
My step is first create the table, I put all the question in the form such as name, IC No, Address.... creating the columns and rows.
After I done all the formation of the form then I only insert the type of input coding into each column.
It is easier for me and reduce the confusion.
