Single-line text fields

Single-line text fields are simple text entry fields, for example:

    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE=40 VALUE="XXX">

TEXT is the default type for the INPUT element. The optional attribute SIZE indicates how wide in characters the field should be. The text entered can be longer than this, in which case it will scroll. The optional MAXLENGTH attribute specifies the maximum number of characters, otherwise the length is unlimited. An initial value for the field can be specified with the VALUE attribute, also optional.
