        We have seen various types of forms, such as a registration forms, login forms, and feedback forms
        on different websites. These forms are created by using HTML5. Generally, a form is a collection of
        different  types of fields  to take input  from a user. It replaces the paper-based  forms used earlier.
        Nowadays, most schools, universities and other commercial organisations use online forms to submit
        or accept  information. Different  types  of  fields,  such  as text  boxes,  check  boxes,  radio  buttons,
        drop-down menus, and password are used  to accept different types of information.


             WHAT IS A FORM IN HTML5?


        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.)  that  is  to  be  sent  to  the  server  for  further  processing.
        While writing codes, there are various form elements that help to design a form like textboxes, radio
        buttons, drop-down menus, checkboxes, passwords, lists, combo boxes, etc. Every form must begin with
        a <FORM> tag, which can be typed inside the body of the HTML5 document.

             THE <FORM> TAG


        The <FORM> tag is used to create the form boundary on the web page. It is a container tag. All
        other form related tags are used inside the opening <FORM> and closing </FORM> tags. The syntax
        to use the <FORM> tag is as follows:


           <FORM>
            ...
            ...

            (Form Elements)
            ...
            ...

            </FORM>
        The <FORM> tag has three attributes, which are:

            ACTION: This attribute is used to specify the action that will take place when we submit the form
           values. It takes the URL of another web page or an e-mail address to receive the information.
