Go to Exercise page

Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declares the document type and version of HTML -->
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Specifies the character encoding for the document -->
<title>How to define a name for the keygen element</title><!-- Sets the title of the document -->
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/keygen-name-demo.php"><!-- Begins a form element with the method attribute set to "post", indicating that form data will be submitted via HTTP POST method. The action attribute specifies the URL where the form data will be sent upon submission -->
  Address: <input type="text" <!-- Creates a text input field for entering the address. The name attribute is set to "place" to identify the input data on the server side -->
name="place"><!-- Specifies the name attribute of the input field -->
  Encryption: <keygen name="security"><!-- Creates a key-pair generator field for encryption with a specified name attribute "security" -->
<input type="submit"><!-- Creates a submit button within the form -->
</form><!-- Ends the form element -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

  • The HTML document starts with a declaration of its type and version (<!DOCTYPE html>).
  • The <html> element encloses the entire HTML document.
  • The <head> section contains metadata about the document, including the character encoding (<meta charset="utf-8">) and the title of the document (<title>).
  • Inside the <body> section, there's a <form> element, which creates a form for user input. The method attribute is set to "post", indicating that form data will be submitted via HTTP POST method. The action attribute specifies the URL where the form data will be sent upon submission.
  • Within the form, there are two input fields:
    • <input type="text">: Creates a text input field for entering the address. The name attribute is set to "place" to identify the input data on the server side.
    • <keygen>: Creates a key-pair generator field for encryption with a specified name attribute "security".
  • Finally, an <input> element with type "submit" is used to create a submit button within the form, allowing users to submit the form data.
