Hello Devs,✋
I have been taking responsive web design classes on freecodecamp.org for a while now, and I can testify it has been an interesting learning.
After every section of lessons, students are required to take a certification project test. There are 5 certification projects for this course on freecodecamp, completing all five projects makes the student qualified for the responsive web design certificate.
So far I have completed two projects and still working on the third, but in this article I will be sharing with you my first project and how I was able to complete it

BUILDING A SURVEY FORM

  • Instructions were given on how to go about the project, they are as follows:
Build a Survey Form
Objective: Build an app that is functionally similar to https://survey-form.freecodecamp.rocks

User Stories:

You should have a page title in an h1 element with an id of title
You should have a short explanation in a p element with an id of description
You should have a form element with an id of survey-form
Inside the form element, you are required to enter your name in an input field that has an id of name and a type of text
Inside the form element, you are required to enter your email in an input field that has an id of email
If you enter an email that is not formatted correctly, you will see an HTML5 validation error
Inside the form, you can enter a number in an input field that has an id of number
If you enter non-numbers in the number input, you will see an HTML5 validation error
If you enter numbers outside the range of the number input, which are defined by the min and max attributes, you will see an HTML5 validation error
For the name, email, and number input fields, you can see corresponding label elements in the form, that describe the purpose of each field with the following ids: id="name-label", id="email-label", and id="number-label"
For the name, email, and number input fields, you can see placeholder text that gives a description or instructions for each field
Inside the form element, you should have a select dropdown element with an id of dropdown and at least two options to choose from
Inside the form element, you can select an option from a group of at least two radio buttons that are grouped using the name attribute
Inside the form element, you can select several fields from a series of checkboxes, each of which must have a value attribute
Inside the form element, you are presented with a textarea for additional comments
Inside the form element, you are presented with a button with id of submit to submit all the inputs
Fulfill the user stories and pass all the tests below to complete this project. Give it your own personal style. Happy Coding!

Note: Be sure to add <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> in your HTML to link your stylesheet and apply your CSS

            <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

In the HTML, aside from the usual elements necessary for a form, some other essential attributes were also applied to make the form standard, some of them are;

  • required - to make sure an input field is not omitted

  • min & max - to ensure ager is not below 10 or above 99

  • value - gives a value to an input to be sent to the server

  • name - this can be used in two ways (1)To ensure two option are not selected at the same time, especially a list radio buttons. (2)It is also used to reference a form data after submission

}input[type=textarea]::placeholder{
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    text-align: left;
    
}

After the completion of this project I was scored 20%, which means I will have to complete other projects to have an 100% and get certified.

There is fun in learning, though sometimes it can be brain tasking and stressful but success feels good when achieved and comes with a price.

As I said earlier I have also completed ny second project, presently working on the third.

Thanks for stopping by, kindly share your thoughts about this project in the comment section.

It's funny how your survey form looks very similar to mine 😆 we used the same colors (purple for the background, green for the submit button). This is mine.

You didn't make it responsive? I am asking because I didn't see any media query in your css

Yes I didn't make it responsive
I was working with the template and instructions given to me by freecodecamp
I guess I can add it later

Oh, I understand now. I usually add extra things that are not part of freeCodeCamp's specifications, coz sometimes their instructions will make the project look too boring
