"In computer programming, a comment is a programmer-readable explanation or annotation in the source code of a computer program. They are added with the purpose of making the source code easier for humans to understand, and are generally ignored by compilers and interpreters." (Wikipedia)
The link to the resource is in the README
We will revisit comments for each language we touch on: HTML, CSS, JS.
There are two styles of comment. The block (multi-line) comment and the line comment.
For HTML, the comment style is the same.
As long as the arrow brackets are open, the contents will be comments, even across multiple lines.
HTML tables allow web developers to arrange table cells of data into rows and columns.
Each table cell is defined by a and a tag.
td stands for table data.
Everything between and are the content of the table cell.
Note: table data elements are the data containers of the table.
They can contain all sorts of HTML elements; text, images, lists, other tables, etc.
Each table row starts with a and end with a tag.
tr stands for table row.
You can have as many rows as you like in a table, just make sure that the number of cells are the same in each row for an even table! You can have less cells per row.
Sometimes you want your cells to be headers, in those cases use the tag instead of the tag.
Watch me first!
On your turn...
- Create a table, with a table header
- Header cells wll be First Name, Last Name, Occupation, Favorite Band
- Create 4 people and fill in all the data
- Create a fifth person that does not have a favorite band
- Create a sixth person who does not have an occupation

An HTML form is used to collect user input. The user input is most often sent to a server for processing.
The HTML element is used to create an HTML form for user input. It represents a document section containing interactive controls for submitting information.
There are optional attributes for the form with default behaviors.
- action: string/URL
- method: PUT, GET, DELETE, POST
The element is a container for different types of input elements, such as: text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, submit buttons, etc.
The HTML element is the most used form element.
An element can be displayed in many ways, depending on the type attribute.
- text
- radio
- checkbox
- submit
- button
The defines a single-line input field for text input.
The form itself is not visible. Also note that the default width of an input field is 20 characters.
The tag defines a label for many form elements.
The element is useful for screen-reader users, because the screen-reader will read out loud the label when the user focus on the input element.
The element also help users who have difficulty clicking on very small regions (such as radio buttons or checkboxes) - because when the user clicks the text within the element, it toggles the radio button/checkbox.
The for attribute of the tag should be equal to the id attribute of the element to bind them together.
First name:Last name:
The defines a button for submitting the form data to a form-handler.
The form-handler is typically a file on the server with a script for processing input data.
The form-handler is specified in the form's action attribute.
