A form is defined with the Input The most used form tag is the tag. The type of input is specified with the type attribute. The most commonly used input types are explained below. Text Fields Text fields are used when you want the user to type letters, numbers, etc. in a form. How it looks in a browser: First name: Last name: Note that the form itself is not visible. Also note that in most browsers, the width of the text field is 20 characters by default. Radio ****ons Radio ****ons are used when you want the user to select one of a limited number of choices. How it looks in a browser: Male Female Note that only one option can be chosen. Checkboxes Checkboxes are used when you want the user to select one or more options of a limited number of choices. How it looks in a browser: I have a bike: I have a car: I have an airplane: The Form's Action Attribute and the Submit ****on When the user clicks on the "Submit" ****on, the content of the form is sent to the server. The form's action attribute defines the name of the file to send the content to. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input. How it looks in a browser: Username: If you type some characters in the text field above, and click the "Submit" ****on, the browser will send your input to a page called "html_form_submit.asp". The page will show you the received input.
