Step 1: Basic Registration Form Markup in HTML

If you're searching for "how to create registration form in HTML," the first thing to know is the basic structure:

  • Wrap everything in a <form> tag to let the browser know this is a form.
  • Use <input type="text"> for fields like username or first name.
  • Use other input types (email, password) where appropriate.
  • The <button> (or <input type="submit">) is what triggers form submission. 

<!-- Basic Registration Form -->
<form>
    <label for="username">Username:</label>
    <input type="text" id="username" name="username" required>

    <label for="email">Email:</label>
    <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>

    <label for="password">Password:</label>
    <input type="password" id="password" name="password" required>

    <button type="submit">Register</button>
</form>

The pink <form> tag wraps the entire registration form, while the blue <input> tags handle data entry.
