Text fields are used when you want the user to type letters, numbers, etc. in a form. Here is a HTML code that will let user type in there First and Last names in a text field!

Add this code to your template

<form>
First name: 
<input type="text" name="firstname">
<br>
Last name: 
<input type="text" name="lastname">
</form>

Of course, there will also need to be a submit button of some kind, to handle the data input.

Something like this:

Then, to process the input: (this is with PHP, I'm pretty sure you can find a JavaScript to do this if you don't have a PHP host)

Your name is <?php echo $_POST["firstname"]; echo $_POST["lastname"]; ?>

You selected <?php echo $_POST["groupname"]; ?>

<?php
$checked = isset($_POST["name"]);
if (checked)
echo "You checked the box";
else
echo "You didn't check the box";
?>

You entered <?php echo $_POST["password"]; ?> as your password

Naturally, I forgot the submit button...
Right before the tag, add this:
