WDS19 - The Last Thing About Forms

In the last article we learned:
  • Some input fields in forms
  • Important attributes to enhance input fields
In this article, we will cover remaining elements of form excluding <input> that we covered in last 3 articles. Let's begin...

The <select> Element

This defines the drop-down list in HTML form. Inside of <select> element each drop-down option is added using <option> element.  If you want an option to be selected by default, then add selected attribute to it. You can also change a number of visible items instead of the default one by specifying size attribute in the <select> tag. To enable the user to add multiple options, use multiple attributes in the <select> tag. The user has to select multiple options using holding down Ctrl in Windows or Command in Mac.

The <textarea> Element 

This defines multi-line input field that is text area. Following attributes are used:
  • rows : Visible number of lines in textarea
  • cols : Visible width of the text area
The user can change this size by using the slider at the right-hand corner of the text area.

That's all for forms and we have covered pretty much everything you will ever need in forms. I am stopping today on this and Tommorrow we will start with something new and interesting in HTML that you will surely love to add in your web pages to enhance them.
Till the #keepCoding.

WDS85 - Animate the CSS(Part 3)

In the last two articles, we learned about animations in CSS and various ways to customize them with the help of iterations and animation delays. Now in today's article, we are going to learn more about them so that to customize them even more. Let's begin... Reverse Directions and Alternate Cycles The animation-direction property in CSS decides whether we want to play animation forward, backward or in alternate cycles. Following values are possible: normal - This is the default. Animation plays as normal(forward). reverse - The animation plays in reverse direction that is backward. alternate - The animation first plays forward and then backward. alternate-reverse - The animation first plays backward and then forward. Speed Curve of Animation Just like we used various ways to customize transitions in CSS some articles before, same functions can be used to change the speed of the animation. The animation-timing-function property specifies the speed curve o

WDS83 - Animate the CSS

In the last two articles, we learned about CSS transitions and created some pretty cool elements with transitions and transformations. Now in today's class, we are going to learn animations in CSS which creates animations without the use of javascript or flash. CSS Animations A CSS animation lets us change an element's style from one to another. We can change as many properties as we want. To use this CSS animations, we have to first specify some keyframe rules which include how and which properties are we changing. The @keyframes Rule When we specify CSS styles inside the  @keyframes rule, the animations will gradually change from current style to new style at certain times. To get these working, we must bind animations to an element. Let's understand more by an example... @keyframes myAnimation { from { background-color : blue ;} to { background-color : red ;} } div { width : 100px ; height : 100px ; background-color : b
