Forms in HTML
The basic syntax of a form is:
< form action="" method="">< / form>
in the opening statement of the form we define:
The location of the server to speak with:
action="https://www.WebSite.com/pageName.html"
or
action="./somepage.html" //in my webserver, relative folder
or
action="" //in the same page
And the direction of the action
method="get" //to receive data from the server
or
method="post" //to send data to the server
Objects of the form:
Label
for -> relativity to other objects
Input
name -> used while sending data
id -> tag and relativity
value -> the default text
type -> type of input box (default is text and can be discarded)
When the for of the label is the same as
the id of the input
pressing on the label will set the focus on the input
button
When the button is in a form, it has a submit action by default
which means it will perform the method in the form to the action
unther types of buttons in a form are:
//default, if not specified
//to default - clear form
//regular button
//menu button
back to main page
