This course will focus on the form markup. By the end, you'll confidently create functional forms that enhance user interaction.

Here's a quick example of a simple form in action:

    <style>
      .border-container {
        border-radius: 10px;
        font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
        line-height: 1.6;
        background-color: #f5f5f5;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        display: flex;
        justify-content: center;
        align-items: center;
        box-sizing: border-box;
      }

      .form1 {
        width: 400px;
        background-color: #fff;
        border-radius: 10px;
        padding: 30px;
        box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
      }

      .title1 {
        font-size: 24px;
        color: #333;
        margin-bottom: 20px;
        border-bottom: 2px solid #ff8a00;
        padding-bottom: 5px;
      }

      .label1 {
        font-size: 16px;
        color: #666;
        display: block;
        margin-top: 20px;
      }

        font-size: 16px;
        border: 1px solid #ccc;
        border-radius: 4px;
      }

      .input1:focus,
      .input1:hover {
