We have seen various types of forms, such as a registration form, a login form, and a feedback form on
different websites. These forms are created using HTML5. Generally, a form is a collection of different
types of fields taking input from a user. Online forms have replaced paper-based forms. Nowadays, most
schools, universities, and commercial organisations use online forms to submit or accept information.
These forms incorporate different types of fields, such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons,
drop-down menus and passwords, etc., to collect different types of information.
WHAT IS A FORM IN HTML5?
An HTML5 form is an interface of a web page that enables the user to enter data (such as names, e-mail
addresses, passwords, phone numbers, etc.) to be sent to the server for processing. While writing codes,
there are various form elements that help in designing a form, like textboxes, radio buttons, drop-down
menus, checkboxes, passwords, lists, comboboxes, etc. Every form must begin with a <FORM> tag,
which is placed inside the body of the HTML5 document.
THE <FORM> TAG
The <FORM> tag is used to create the form boundary on a web page. It is a container tag. All other
form related tags are placed inside the opening <FORM> and closing </FORM> tags.
