Step 1: Set Up the HTML Document Structure
To begin, create a new HTML file and set up the basic structure of an HTML document. Add a suitable title, and include any necessary CSS or JavaScript files if needed.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Student Registration Form</title>
<!-- Add your CSS and JavaScript files here -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your form will be placed here -->
</body>
</html>
Step 2: Create the Student Registration Form
Inside the <body><form> element with the necessary attributes (such as action and method). Then, create an <table> the element inside the form to structure the input fields and labels.
<form action="your-action-url" method="POST">
<table>
<!-- Form content will be placed here -->
</table>
</form>
Step 3: Add Form Content with Table Rows and Cells
Now, let’s add the form content using table rows (<tr><td>
<form action="your-action-url" method="POST">
<table>
<tr>
<th colspan="2">Student Registration Form</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>First Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="first_name" required></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="last_name" required></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email:</td>
<td><input type="email" name="email" required></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Phone Number:</td>
<td><input type="tel" name="phone_number" required></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Course:</td>
<td>
<select name="course" required>
<option value="">Select Course</option>
<option value="Computer Science">Computer Science</option>
<option value="Mathematics">Mathematics</option>
<option value="Physics">Physics</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" value="Register">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Step 4: Style the Form (Optional)
You may want to add some CSS to style the form and make it visually appealing. For example, you can add basic styling to the table, form elements, and buttons.
<head>
<!-- Other head content -->
<style>
table {
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 10px;
text-align: left;
}
th {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
font-weight: bold;
}
input[type="text"],
input[type="email"],
input[type="tel"],
select {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 2px 0;
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
input[type="submit"] {
background-color: #4CAF50;
color: white;
padding: 10px 20px;
margin: 8px 0;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
width: 100%;
}
input[type="submit"]:hover {
background-color: #45a049;
}
</style>
</head>
