html forms is simply a container that consists of other form elements such as a text box, radio buttons, list boxes and it is not a visual element itself. It is created using <FONT> element.

An opening <FORM> tag and </FORM> represents the end of the form. In between these two tag we give other form elements such as other form elements such as text boxes, list boxes, buttons. You can place the <FORM> tag anywhere in the body of the HTML document.

The syntax for defining html forms are--

<BODY>
<FORM>
</---FORM ELEMENTS-->

Html forms attributes--
  • Action--This attribute specifies the address of recipients webpage that will receive the forms data submitted by the visitor of the website.
For example--

<FORM ACTION="login.asp">
  • Method-- This attribute tells how to send the collected data from the visitor to the server. 
In html forms there are 2 ways to do this--
  • Get method-- This method takes the data from the form fields, encodes it and links the form information to the end of the URL of the form.
For example--

<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="Login.asp">
  • Post method--It takes the data from the form fields and send it through the HTTP header without being seen in the URL.
For example--

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="Login.asp">
