Forms and Input Elements in HTML
Welcome back, tech enthusiasts! We've journeyed through HTML's core concepts. Today, we explore the power of interaction with forms and input elements, taking your web page to the next level.
Building Interactive Forms:
Forms enable users to input data, subscribe, and interact with your site. The `<form>` element acts as the container for form elements.
<form action="submit.php" method="POST">
<!-- form elements go here -->
</form>
Here, `action` defines where the data is sent, and `method` specifies how data is sent.
Exploring Input Elements:
Input elements allow users to provide various types of data. Let's explore a few:
- Text Input: `<input type="text" name="username">`
- Radio Buttons: `<input type="radio" name="gender" value="male">`
- Checkboxes: `<input type="checkbox" name="interest" value="coding">`
- Textarea: `<textarea name="message"></textarea>`
Collecting Data and Submitting Forms:
Upon submission, data is sent to the server for processing. Use the `<input type="submit">` element to create a submit button.
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
