Menu
I am trying to create a simple HTML log-in that is placed in a box. I want to have something like this:
I have tried a few things but they all seem to have been in vain. Here is my code thus far. HTML:
<div id="login_form">
<form name="f1" method="post" action="login.php" id="f1">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="f1_label">User Name :</td><td><input type="text" name="username" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="f1_label">Password :</td><td><input type="password" name="password" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Log In" style="font-size:18px; " />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
CSS:
#login_form {
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 30%;
right: 30%;
bottom: 20%;
font-size: 18px;
}
#f1 {
background-color: #ccc;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
}
.f1_label {
white-space: nowrap;
}
I want the login box to be in the center of my browser, so I have made use of #login_form. I have a few questions: is the use of the fieldset tag a better way? When I used the fieldset tag, it created more issues; the appearance of the form and the size of the text & password fields changed.
I understand that <table> should be used for tabular data only, but the use of
label in any other way seems to mess the size/width of password and username fields (it also requires more styling).
Is it poor coding practice to use <table> in a form? Will future browsers render the pages wrongly if I use <table>? Is keeping the name and id of the form the same a bad idea? I feel like keeping them the same does not create any issues (even with the use of jQuery in the same page).

To create a login form, follow the steps mentioned below: Open Microsoft Visual Studio -> create a new file and name it as an SL file. Now, on a page, write the code mentioned in the example below. The HTML program will create a webpage form that will allow users to log in themselves.
Step 1 : Adding HTML Add an image inside a container and add inputs with matching labels for each field. Wrap a “form” element around them to process the input. Step 2 : Adding CSS Add the required CSS to design the login page try to keep the design as simple as possible.
Using <table> is not a bad choice. Of course it is bit old fashioned.
But still not obsolete. But if you prefer you can use "Boostrap". There you have options for panels and enhanced forms.
This is the sample code for your requirement. Used minimal styles to simplify.
