One effective way is to greet users with their names. In this guide, we'll explore how to accomplish this by reading user input from an HTML form and extracting the name from the URL’s query string. Let's dive right in! The Problem at Hand You want to create a single HTML page that will allow users to enter their names via a form input. After submitting the form, you want to display a greeting message that includes their name. The tricky part is that you also want the user's name to be visible when the page is loaded, extracted directly from the query string of the URL. Let’s break it down into manageable steps. Solution Overview We will achieve our goal by following these steps: Create a Form for User Input: We'll design a simple form where users can type their names. Capture Input on Form Submission: We will capture the name when the form is submitted, but also when the page loads. Display the Greeting: We will show a greeting message using the name extracted from the query string or from the input field. Step 1: Create Your HTML Form First, let's create the HTML structure needed for our project. Here’s a simple form where users can enter their names: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Step 2: Capture User Input with JavaScript Next, we need to write JavaScript code that will handle the logic of reading the query string when the page loads and updating the output. Here’s how to do it: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Step 3: Display the Greeting When a user submits their name through the form, we expect the greeting message to update accordingly. We also pre-load the greeting from the URL's query string if one exists. By using window.onload, we ensure that the function greetUser runs as soon as the page is fully loaded, displaying the user's name right away if it is present in the URL. Conclusion By following these steps, you can create an engaging user experience by greeting visitors by their names, whether they enter them via a form or through the URL's query string. This not only adds a personal touch to your website but also encourages users to interact with your page more meaningfully. Now, you can take this simple example and expand upon it in your own projects! Happy coding!
