HTML-like Text Forms

[Missooni]

A couple of functions that can be used to create responsive text forms. Colors are fully customizable.

On advanced computers, text fields and submit button respond to mouse inputs, but forms can also be navigated using the keyboard:
Tab: Go forward/cycle through fields.
Ctrl: Go back
Enter: Submit, when last field is selected.
