## feed.textinput

A text input form. No one actually uses this. Why are you?

### Comes from

- `/rss/channel/textInput`
- `/rss/channel/textinput`
- `/rdf:RDF/rdf:textinput`

### feed.textinput.title

The title of the text input form, which would go in the `value` attribute of the form's submit button.

### feed.textinput.link

The link of the script which processes the text input form, which would go in the `action` attirbute of the form.

If this is a relative URI, it is resolved according to a set of rules.

### feed.textinput.name

The name of the text input box in the form, which would go in the `name` attribute of the form's input box.

### feed.textinput.description

A short description of the text input form, which would go in the `label` element of the form.

### Annotated example

This is a text input in a feed:

    <textInput>
      <title>Go!</title>
      <link>http://example.org/search</link>
      <name>keyword</name>
      <description>Search this site:</description>
    </textInput>

This is how it could be rendered in HTML:

    <form method="get" action="http://example.org/search">
      <label for="keyword">Search this site:</label>
      <input type="text" id="keyword" name="keyword" value="">
      <input type="submit" value="Go!">
    </form>
