HTML Forms

HTML Forms are an essential part of web development, allowing users to interact with websites and provide valuable information.HTML forms serve as a bridge between the user and the server, enabling users to input data and submit it for processing.

In the below PDF we discuss about HTML Form Tag in detail in simple language, Hope this will help in better understanding.

Syntax of the HTML Form Tag:

let’s start with the basic structure of an HTML form.

<form action="process.php" method="post">
<!-- Form elements go here -->
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username">
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

<form>: This element defines the start and end of the form. It has two essential attributes: action (the URL to which the form data will be sent) and method (the HTTP method used for the request, often “GET” or “POST”).
Form Elements: These are the user input fields within the form, such as text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, and more. Each element has its own set of attributes and properties.
Submit Button: A form typically includes a submit button, which, when clicked, sends the form data to the server for processing.

Form Elements:

HTML provides a wide range of form elements to collect different types of data, including:

Text Input (<input type=”text”>): Used for single-line text input, such as usernames or email addresses.
Password Input (<input
type=”password”>): Hides the entered text and is commonly used for password fields.
Text Area (<textarea>): Allows multi-line text input for comments or messages.
Radio Buttons (<input
type=”radio”>): Used when users need to choose one option from multiple choices.
Checkboxes (<input
type=”checkbox”>): Ideal for allowing users to select one or more options from a list.
Select Dropdown (<select>): Presents a list of options for users to choose from.
File Upload (<input
type=”file”>): Lets users upload files, such as images or documents.
Submit Button (<button
type=”submit”>): Submits the form data to the server.
Reset Button (<button
type=”reset”>): Clears all form inputs and resets the form.
