<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>

<input id="mysearch" name="searchitem" type="search" />

You must remember to set a name for your input; otherwise, nothing will be submitted.

Search Options

The <datalist> tag can be used to define a list of pre-defined options for the search field:
<input id="car" type="text" list="colors" />
<datalist id="colors">
<option value="Red">
<option value="Green">
<option value="Yellow">
</datalist>

<option> defines the options in a drop-down list for the user to select.


The ID of the datalist element must match with the list attribute of the input box.

Creating More Fields

Some other new input types include email, url, and tel:


<input id="email" name="email" type="email" placeholder="[email protected]" />
<br />
<input id="url" name="url" type="url" placeholder="example.com" />
<br />
<input id="tel" name="tel" type="tel" placeholder="555.555.1211" />

Custom Names
Custom names can be used for tables as well. You can shorten the join statements by
giving the tables "nicknames":

SELECT ct.ID, ct.Name, ord.Name, ord.Amount


FROM customers AS ct, orders AS ord
WHERE ct.ID=ord.Customer_ID
ORDER BY ct.ID;
As you can see, we shortened the table names as we used them in our query.
