How do I put tabs in HTML page

I have a web page with the menu bar at the top.

I know to put tab in HTML and it can be done like that:

<p style="text-indent: 5em;">
The first line of this paragraph will be indented about five characters, similar to a tabbed indent.
</p>

But my question would be how to do the similar thing inside the menu bar? Here is my code.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<html>
<head>
<title></title>

<style>
    div.ex
    {
        width:300px;
        padding:10px;
        border:5px solid gray;
        background: white;
        margin-left:auto;
        margin-right:auto;
        margin-top: 200px;
        position: relative;
    }
    p.x {
        color: white;
        font:25px arial,sans-serif;
        position:relative;
        left:20px;
    }
    .align {
        position: absolute;
        left: 8em;
    }
    body
    {
        background-color: #ebebeb;
        top: 55px;
    }
    #rectangle {
        width: 100%;
        height: 70px;
        background: deepskyblue;
        position: fixed;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        bottom: 20;
    }
    input[type=button]
    {
        background-color: lawngreen;
        color: white;
    }
    #text {
        padding-top: 80px;
    }
</Style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="rectangle">
<p class="x">Home Page <a href="personal?id=${id}"><input type="button" name="sign up" value="Sign Up"/></a>
 <a href="hello">Home</a> </p>
</div>
<h1 id="text">Hello world, this is your home page.</h1>
<div class="ex">
<h1>签订</h1>
<hr>
${errorMessage}
<form action="register" method="post">
    <p>
        <label>
            ID：
            <input type="text" name="id" value="${person.id}" class="align"/>
        </label>
    </p>
    <p>
        <label>
            密码：
            <input type="password" name="password" class="align"/>
        </label>
    </p>
    <p>
        <label>
            确认密码：
            <input type="password" name="password" class="align"/>
        </label>
    </p>
    <p>
        <label>
            姓名：
            <input type="text" name="name" value="${person.name}" class="align"/>
        </label>
    </p>
    <p>
        <label>
            地址：
            <input type="text" name="address" value="${person.address}" class="align"/>
        </label>
    </p>
    <p>
        <label>
            电话：
            <input type="text" name="phoneNumber" value="${person.phoneNumber}" class="align"/>
        </label>
    </p>
    <input type="submit" value="注册"/>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

In other words, I'd like to put tabs between "sign up" button and "Home" hyperlink. Both are placed in the blue rectangle.

I appreciate if someone could help me.

It seems that by “tab”, you really mean horizontal spacing. In that case, set a suitable horizontal margin on some element, e.g.

<input type="button" name="sign up" value="Sign Up" style="margin-right: 5em"/>
<a href="hello">Home</a>

(Your code needs fixing. For example, an a element must not contain an input element. But this does not affect the spacing issue.)

You are using the wrong HTML pattern.

Use an unordered list and move the INPUT outside of the LABEL.

<ul>
  <li>
      <label for="name">Name</label>
      <input id="name" />
    </li>
  <li>
      <label for="address1">Address</label>
      <input id="address1" />
    </li>
  <li>
  ....
</ul>

CSS:

label, input {
  display: inline-block;
}
