Answer:
To create a web page that accepts t-shirt orders for employees, you can use HTML to build a form that captures the user's name, email address, and employee number. Here is an example of the HTML code needed to show this form:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>T-Shirt Order Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>T-Shirt Order Form</h1>
<form action="submit_order.php" method="POST">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
<br>
<label for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
<br>
<label for="employee_number">Employee Number:</label>
<input type="text" id="employee_number" name="employee_number" required>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
```
Let's break down the code:
1. The `<!DOCTYPE html>` declaration specifies that this is an HTML document.
2. The opening and closing `<html>` tags define the root element of the document.
3. The `<head>` element contains meta-information about the document, such as the title.
4. The `<title>` element sets the title of the web page, which will be displayed in the browser's title bar or tab.
5. The opening and closing `<body>` tags enclose the visible content of the web page.
6. The `<h1>` heading element displays the heading text "T-Shirt Order Form".
7. The `<form>` element is used to create a form that will collect user input.
- The `action` attribute specifies the URL or script that will handle the form data when it is submitted. In this example, the form data will be submitted to a file called "submit_order.php".
- The `method` attribute specifies the HTTP method to be used when submitting the form. In this case, we are using the POST method.
8. The `<label>` elements provide text labels for each input field.
9. The `<input>` elements create the input fields where users can enter their information.
- The `type` attribute specifies the type of input field. In this case, we are using "text" for the name and employee number fields, and "email" for the email address field.
- The `id` attribute provides a unique identifier for each input field.
- The `name` attribute defines the name of the input field, which is used when submitting the form data.
- The `required` attribute makes the input field required, so the user must fill it in before submitting the form.
10. The `<br>` elements create line breaks to separate the form elements.
11. The `<input>` element with `type="submit"` creates a submit button that the user can click to submit the form.
12. The closing `</form>` tag marks the end of the form.
13. The closing `</body>` and `</html>` tags mark the end of the document.
With this HTML code, users will be able to enter their name, email address, and employee number in the form, and then submit their order. The form data will be sent to the URL specified in the `action` attribute of the `<form>` element for further processing.
