Learn how to create a user-friendly Terms & Conditions generator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Step by step guide.
Table of Contents
Terms and conditions are a critical part of any website or online business. They outline the rules and expectations for users of the site, protecting both the business and the users. But creating a terms and conditions page can be a time-consuming and complicated process. That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide to help you build your own user-friendly terms and conditions generator with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
What is a Terms & Conditions Generator?
A terms and conditions generator is a tool that helps you create a custom terms and conditions page for your website or online business. This page outlines the rules and expectations for using the site, including information on user privacy, intellectual property rights, and other important legal considerations. A terms and conditions generator simplifies the process by providing a step-by-step guide to building your terms and conditions page.
Why is a Terms & Conditions Page Important?
A terms and conditions page is an essential part of any website or online business. It helps protect the business from legal liabilities and provides users with important information about their rights and responsibilities. Additionally, many countries have laws that require websites to have a terms and conditions page, so it's essential to have one in place if you want to run a legitimate online business.
Choosing the Right Tools
To build a terms and conditions generator, you'll need a few key tools. First, you'll need a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML provides the structure for the page, CSS styles it, and JavaScript adds interactivity and dynamic elements. If you're new to web development, don't worry - these are all easy to learn and there are plenty of online resources available to help you get started.
In this comprehensive guide, we will go through each step of the process, from building the generator from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, to choosing the right development tools and testing and debugging your generator.
By the end of this guide, you will have a solid understanding of how to build a user-friendly Terms & Conditions generator that is tailored to your specific needs and requirements. Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting out, this guide is a valuable resource that will help you create a generator that is both functional and visually appealing.

Step 1 (HTML Code):
The first step in building your terms and conditions generator is to create a basic HTML structure for your page. Start with a header and navigation, and then create a section for your terms and conditions content. You can use placeholder text to start, and then replace it with your actual content later.
The layout includes links to external stylesheets, including Bootstrap and Trumbowyg, and includes a script that is dependent on jQuery and Trumbowyg. The main content of the layout is divided into three sections, which are displayed as columns. The first section displays a message about the purpose of the tool, the second section displays an editable text area for generating the terms and conditions, and the third section displays a form for entering the website, company, and country information. When the copy button is clicked, the contents of the text area will be copied to the clipboard.
After creating the files just paste the following codes into your file. Make sure to save your HTML document with a .html extension, so that it can be properly viewed in a web browser.
This is the basic structure of your terms and conditions generator using HTML, and now we can move on to styling it using CSS.
Step 2 (CSS Code):
Once the basic HTML structure of the T&C generator is in place, the next step is to add styling to the T&C generator using CSS. CSS allows us to control the visual appearance of the website, including things like layout, color, and typography.
Next, we will create our CSS file. In this file, we will use some basic CSS rules to create your T&C generator. We will also add some padding and margin properties to ensure that everything looks correct.
This will give your T&C generator an upgraded presentation. Create a CSS file with the name of styles.css and paste the given codes into your CSS file. Remember that you must create a file with the .css extension.
#editor{
color:black;
}
.dashed{
border: 1px red dashed;
}
.copied{
z-index:9999;
}
.overlay {
content: "";
top: 0;
right: 0;
background: #000000cf;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
} Step 3 (JavaScript Code):
Finally, you'll want to add dynamic elements to your page using JavaScript. This could include things like checkboxes for users to agree to the terms and conditions, or a form that collects information from users. Be sure to test your generator thoroughly before you launch it to make sure everything is working as it should.
Create a JavaScript file with the name of script.js and paste the given codes into your JavaScript file and make sure it's linked properly to your HTML document, so that the scripts are executed on the page. Remember, you’ve to create a file with .js extension.
