Nilesh Chaurasia HTML Form Tag
HTML Form is used to take the input from the user. The <form> tag is used to create the Form.
An HTML Form contains other HTML form Elements like input tag. There are different types of form child elements, like text, submit and more.
Example – A HTML basic Form with text box and a button.
<html> <body> <form> First name:<br> <input type="text" name="firstname"><br /> Last name:<br> <input type="text" name="lastname"><br /><br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>
The above syntax is used to create the form. And below image shows the result of the above code
Caution: The text input element is used to take single line text input from the user. And submit input element is a button, where user can click to submit the form content to the web server. The web server is most of the time a php web server.
Example 2 – A basic Form with two text box and two buttons.
<html> <body> <form> First name:<br> <input type="text" name="firstname"><br /> Last name:<br> <input type="text" name="lastname"><br /><br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" value="Reset"> </form> </body> </html>
