Form design with #HTML and #CSS and a simple search function using some #Javascript

I'm aware there are probably far better ways to achieve this result, but I'm Tinkering with code.

Even thought I’ve probably written thousands of lines of code across various programming languages not to mention JavaScript and PHP I always feel like my code should be better.🫣

Messing around with responsive layouts and Grid. Go to say Grid can cope with being responsive without the need for '@media' . No JavaScript either.

So, I wrote this a while back when I was working on a Help Desk project. Never ended up using. but it works. The code searches for element with IDs within a given element. I have created a #codepen for it.

Using Javascript to facilitate the dragging of elements is a challenge. While this kinda works but not fluid and gets stuck, so it's far from perfect. Plus it's a very simple. Sorry about the colour choices... 🫣

So, I changed up the simple notes app and gave it my own twist (Yes, the code is mine!). I'm pretty sure there are better more concise ways to write the code but you can only learn by doing. Still needs some small tweaks where the search bar is concerned. But it works!
