How to use multiple in forms?

Question

For accepting any alpha-numeric character for example Student ID...how should I use multiple?

Answer 1

<input type = "text" value="student_id"/>

alphanumaric can be text only..!!!

Answer 2

Ipang here I want to state...for accepting a value which is alphanumeric. For example...
<input type="text"> is for accepting text and <input type="number"> is for accepting numbers. So in my text-book it is given that we can accept both text and numbers at same time using input restriction "multiple"...
Hence I demanded an example.

Answer 3

Ipang thanks...I think my thought about multiple was wrong..thanks once again

Answer 4

Yes. 'multiple' is an attribute can be used with email, file types and also select tag for accepting multiple values, camma separated.

Hope that helped.. You're welcome

Answer 5

Welcome Wanda,
Remember those pages noted that only <email>, <file> and <select> elements supports the use of 'multiple' attribute. So I guess multiple student ID as input was not a viable option, except if you write some script to handle such inputs.

Answer 6

I didn't understand the question. What did you mean "use multiple"? multiple of what?

Answer 7

Wanda,
Now it's clear, Thanks for clarification.

These pages explains what 'multiple' attribute was for, where it is applicable, and some examples.
