A form typically contains various input fields where users can enter data. Here's an example of how you can create a basic form:

Name

Email address

Password

Submit

This form includes basic input fields for name, email, and password, along with a submit button. You can adjust the form elements and styling based on your requirements.

Types of fields

When designing forms, consider the following types of input fields:

• Text inputs: Used for single-line text input such as names, email addresses, and passwords.
• Textarea: Used for multi-line text input such as comments or messages.
• Select dropdowns: Used for selecting options from a list, such as a dropdown menu for selecting a country.
• Radio buttons: Used for selecting a single option from a list of options.
• Checkboxes: Used for selecting one or more options from a list of options.
• Date inputs: Used for selecting a date from a calendar.
• File inputs: Used for uploading files from the user's device.

When designing forms, it's important to follow best practices to enhance usability and accessibility:

• Keep forms concise and focused on collecting necessary information.
• Use clear and descriptive labels for each input field.
• Provide helpful hints or placeholders to guide users in filling out the form.
• Use validation to ensure that users enter correct and valid data.
• Group related fields together and use proper alignment and spacing for clarity.
• Consider the use of inline validation to provide immediate feedback to users.

For more complex forms, you might need additional features like validation, file uploads, or dynamic form elements.

Remember to always validate user input on the server-side to ensure data integrity and security.

We use forms to send data from our users to our servers. We always use an HTML helper to generate a form. Your code should look something like this:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Action", "Controller", null, FormMethod.Post, new { role = "form", @id = "formChange" }))
{
	<!-- Your inputs here -->
}
