Summary  
This chapter demonstrates how to use HTML input attributes—placeholder, name, value, required, disabled, readonly, min, and max—to implement user-friendly field hints, default values, and validation constraints in code.

General domain of usage  
Web form development

You already know how to use inputs and labels. Now let's look at the most useful attributes that make input fields more helpful and user-friendly.

#### Placeholder 
Shows hint text inside the field.
```html
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter your email" />
```

#### Name
Identifies the field when the form is submitted.
```html
<input type="text" name="username" />
```

#### Value 
Sets a default value in the field.
```html
<input type="tel" value="+1 (484) 298-9732" />
```

#### Required
Prevents form submission if the field is empty.
```hml
<input type="password" required />
```

#### Disabled
Makes the field uneditable and non-interactive.
```html
<input type="text" value="New York" disabled />
```


#### Readonly
Displays a value that users can copy but cannot change.
```html
<input type="text" value="USA" readonly />
```

#### Min and Max
Set limits for numeric inputs.
```html
<input type="number" min="21" max="99" />
```
