          FORMS

By now you should be able to create a web page that looks good and is functional. However other than links it lacks interactivity with viewers.

This is where forms come in.

Take this example

Please not this is a fun example and not a serious form for calculating car loans

Car Purchase Plan
Total Car Price (£)
Deposit (£)
Annual Interest Rate: %
Loan Length Years
The costs
Outstanding loan (£)
No of Payments Months
Deposit (£)
Monthly Cost (£)
