Question of the day Form fields' types
Text type - the value of this type of field is a single line text Textarea type - the value of this type of field is multi-line text Password type - the value of this type of field is text organized in such a way when all characters are hidden (e.g. series of asterisks) Checkbox type - there are two values of this type of field - checked and unchecked Radio button type - radio buttons are united in groups with the same control name, they are mutually exclusive: when one is checked, all other radio buttons with the same control name are unchecked. Select type - the value of this type of field is single value or a list of values Hidden type - fields of this type are not visible on the web page but their values are submitted with a form. These fields are generally used to store information between client/server exchanges, user identification, preferences, etc.
