How To Create A tailwind Contact Form

To create a Tailwind CSS contact form integrated with FabForm.io, follow these steps:

  1. Sign Up on FabForm:

    • If you haven’t already, sign up for an account on FabForm.
    • Create a new form to obtain the form endpoint URL.
  2. Create HTML Markup with Tailwind CSS:

    • Create an HTML file and add the following structure for the contact form. This example uses Tailwind CSS for styling:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <title>Contact Form with FabForm.io</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss@2.2.19/dist/tailwind.min.css">
    </head>
    <body class="bg-gray-100 p-8">
        <div class="max-w-md mx-auto bg-white rounded p-6">
            <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-6">Contact Us</h2>
            <form action="YOUR_GETFORM_ENDPOINT" method="POST">
                <div class="mb-4">
                    <label for="name" class="block text-gray-700 text-sm font-bold mb-2">Your Name</label>
                    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="w-full px-3 py-2 border rounded-md">
                </div>
    
                <div class="mb-4">
                    <label for="email" class="block text-gray-700 text-sm font-bold mb-2">Your Email</label>
                    <input type="email" id="email" name="email" class="w-full px-3 py-2 border rounded-md">
                </div>
    
                <div class="mb-4">
                    <label for="message" class="block text-gray-700 text-sm font-bold mb-2">Your Message</label>
                    <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="4" class="w-full px-3 py-2 border rounded-md"></textarea>
                </div>
    
                <button type="submit" class="bg-blue-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded-md hover:bg-blue-600">Submit</button>
            </form>
        </div>
    </body>
    </html>
    • Replace "YOUR_GETFORM_ENDPOINT" with the actual endpoint URL you obtained from FabForm.
  3. Style the Form (Optional):

    • You can further customize the form’s appearance using additional Tailwind CSS classes or your own custom styles.
  4. Test the Form:

    • Open the HTML file in a browser.
    • Fill out the form and submit it.
    • Check your FabForm dashboard to verify that the form submission data is captured.

This example integrates Tailwind CSS for styling with FabForm.io for form handling. Ensure that you include the correct Tailwind CSS CDN link in the <head> section of your HTML file.
