Go ahead and remove VALUE="44 Cherry St".

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="ADDRESS" SIZE=30>
</FORM>

If we want, we can specify how many characters a user can input.
Just go ahead and try to input more than 10 characters!

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="ADDRESS" SIZE=30 MAXLENGTH=10>
</FORM>

I suppose this feature might come in handy now and again, but unless you think someone's going to send the whole King James Bible down the pike at you, I wouldn't worry about it.

Very similar to the TYPE=TEXT is the TYPE=PASSWORD. It is exactly the same, except it displays *** instead of the actual input. The browser will send you the input, it just won't display it.

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="password">
</FORM>

Remember that each <INPUT> must have a NAME.

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="USERPASS">
</FORM>

SIZE, VALUE, and MAXLENGTH attributes work here also. By the way, a <TAG> tells the browser to do something. An ATTRIBUTE goes inside the <TAG> and tells the browser how to do it.
