 ## Using tel inputs
 
 Telephone numbers are a very commonly collected type of data on the web. When creating any kind of registration or e-commerce site, for example, you will likely need to ask the user for a telephone number, whether for business purposes or for emergency contact purposes. Given how commonly-entered phone numbers are, it's unfortunate that a "one size fits all" solution for validating phone numbers is not practical.

 ## Using text inputs
 
 `<input>` elements of type `text` create basic, single-line inputs. You should use them anywhere you want the user to enter a single-line value and there isn't a more specific input type available for collecting that value (for example, if it's a [date](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/datetime-local), [URL](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/url), [email](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/email), or [search term](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/search), you've got better options available).

 ## Using URL inputs
 
 When you create a URL input with the proper `type` value, `url`, you get automatic validation that the entered text is at least in the correct form to potentially be a legitimate URL. This can help avoid cases in which the user mistypes their website's address, or provides an invalid one.
