Prerequisites:

Before starting this tutorial, you should have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Additionally, you will need a code editor such as Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text to write and save your code.

Source Code

Step 1 (HTML Code):

Creating a solid foundation is crucial. We'll delve into the HTML structure necessary for a contact form. Understanding the purpose of each element will set the stage for seamless integration with CSS and JavaScript.

How to Implement:

Open your preferred text editor.
Start with the <form> tag and define the necessary fields like name, email, and message.

Let's break down the code step by step:

1. <!DOCTYPE html>: Declares the document type and version of HTML (HTML5 in this case).

2. <html lang="en">: The root element of the HTML document. The lang attribute specifies the language of the document as English.

3. <head>: Contains meta-information about the HTML document, including character set, viewport settings, title, and links to external resources.

<meta charset="UTF-8">: Specifies the character encoding of the document as UTF-8.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">: Instructs Internet Explorer to use the latest rendering engine.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">: Defines the viewport properties for responsive design.
<title>Contact Page Design</title>: Sets the title of the webpage to "Contact Page Design".
<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.10.2/css/all.min.css'>: Links to the Font Awesome CSS file, providing icons for social media.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">: Links to an external stylesheet named "styles.css" for additional styling.

4. <body>: Contains the content of the HTML document.

<div class="container">: A container for the main content of the webpage.
<h2>Get in touch</h2>: Heading indicating the purpose of the contact page.
<p>...</p>: Paragraph with a message encouraging users to contact about web development.
<form class="contact-form">: A form with the class "contact-form" for users to input their details.
<div class="input-area">: Container for an input field.
Various input fields for name, email, subject, and a textarea for a message.
<button class="sendbtn">Send</button>: A button to submit the form.
<div class="social-container">: Container for social media links.
<div class="custom-social-container">: Inner container for styling.
<p>Contact me on</p>: A heading indicating the purpose of the social links.
<button class="cross-btn">...</button>: A button with a Font Awesome times icon to potentially close the social links.
<ul>...</ul>: An unordered list containing social media links with Font Awesome icons.
<button class="connect-btn">Get Connected</button>: A button with the class "connect-btn" encouraging users to get connected.

5. <script src="script.js"></script>: Links to an external JavaScript file named "script.js" for additional scripting.

  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

	}
}

Step 3 (JavaScript Code):

Now it's time to make your contact page dynamic. We'll introduce JavaScript to add interactive elements, making the user experience more engaging.

How to Implement:

Incorporate JavaScript into your HTML document or link an external script.
Ensure seamless interaction without compromising on performance.

Let me break down the code for you:

1. Contact Form Section:

It selects the HTML element with the class 'contact-form' and 'container'.
It attaches an event listener to the contact form for the 'submit' event.
When the form is submitted, it prevents the default form submission (preventing a page reload).
It then replaces the content of the container with a message thanking the user for their message.

2. Social Media Buttons Section:

It selects HTML elements with the classes 'connect-btn', 'cross-btn', and 'social-container'.
It attaches an event listener to the 'connect-btn' button for the 'click' event.
When the 'connect-btn' is clicked, it toggles the 'visible' class on the 'social-container', meaning it shows/hides the social media buttons.
It attaches an event listener to the 'cross-btn' button for the 'click' event.
When the 'cross-btn' is clicked, it removes the 'visible' class from the 'social-container', hiding the social media buttons.

const contactform = document.querySelector('.contact-form');
const container = document.querySelector('.container');

contactform.addEventListener('submit', (event) => {
	event.preventDefault();
	container.innerHTML = '<p>Thanks for your message. <br /> I\'ll respond to you shortly</p>';
});

const connectbtn = document.querySelector('.connect-btn');
const crossbtn = document.querySelector('.cross-btn');
const socialcontainer = document.querySelector('.social-container');

connectbtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
	socialcontainer.classList.toggle('visible')
});

crossbtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
	socialcontainer.classList.remove('visible')
});
