A web form is the interactive aspect of the internet, which allows web site visitors to enter information into fields and send them to a web server for processing.
Web forms are generated using HTML and, sometimes, JavaScript, but the basic format in HTML is:
<form action="page-to-submit-to" method="post">
<input type="text" name="email" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Sign up for our newsletter" />
</form>
The form tag delimits the elements on the form, and the input tags specify a place to enter their email address, and a button.
Web forms can contain the following types of elements:
- Text field (type="text")
- Password field (type="password")
- Multiple lines of text (textarea input)
- Radio buttons (type="radio")
- Checkboxes (type="checkbox")
- Buttons (type="button")
- Submit buttons (type="submit")
- Drop-down list (select tag)
