*HTML Forms*



HTML forms are an essential part of web development, allowing users to interact with websites by entering and submitting data. Forms are commonly used for user registration, login, feedback collection, and much more.

What is an HTML Form?

An HTML form is an element that collects user input and sends it to a server for processing. Forms are created using the <form> element.




The <form> element acts as a container for input elements.

The action attribute specifies the URL where the form data will be sent.

The method attribute defines how data should be sent (GET or POST).

HTML Form Elements

A form can contain various elements like text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, and buttons.

Text Input Fields (<input type="text">)

Used to enter single-line text input.




Password Field (<input type="password">)

Hides user input, typically used for passwords.




Radio Buttons (<input type="radio">)

Allows users to select one option from multiple choices.




File Upload in Forms

To allow users to upload files, use <input type="file">.




The enctype="multipart/form-data" is necessary for file uploads.

Forms and JavaScript

JavaScript can handle form submissions and validation.




HTML forms are crucial for user interaction. By combining different elements and attributes, you can create functional and user-friendly forms. For enhanced validation and interactivity, JavaScript can be used alongside HTML forms.
