This is our main source file with our form. I decided to create some ‘Join form’ to website using HTML5:
Here are important notes. HTML5 using several new attributes as rules for validation of form fields. This is:
required – this attribute will transform field into
required field. This attribute applicable to different form elements
(input, select, textarea etc). So if we will mark our field with this
attribute, it will mean that we will need to check our checkbox field,
type value for text field, select value from selector etc.
pattern – this attribute will determinate regular
expression which will using for checking values of elements. In our
example I will use this attribute to set custom pattern for email and
phone fields.
maxlength – we can use this attribute to set max limit of symbols for field
Step 2. CSS
All styles here:
css/main.css
