How to create a text-field in a form with HTML/XHTML
The code below shows you how to create a text-field in a form with HTML/XHTML.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>

</head>
<body>
<form action="script.php" method="post">
user name:
<input type="text" name="username" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Note: The <input> tag is a self-enclosing tag, therefore it must have a forward slash (/) and a preceding blank space to end the tag, for it to be XHTML compliant.
The code above creates the form with a text-field below.
