There are two form methods:
method="POST" and method="GET"
GET makes the page it sends the form info from retrieve it from the URL.
POST sends the data, and can handle more characters than GET.
method="POST" is a common attribute of the HTML <form> tag. What this does is tells the form that it needs to "post" the data to whatever file you have specified in your "action" attribute of the form tag. So your form tag might look something like this: <form action="receive.php" method="POST">Insert form data here</form> Again, this will tell the form to post all the data that the user has entered into it to the receive.php file.
This can be accomplished by submitting the form data using the POST method.
Method refers to the way that the data is transferred. It can either be GET or POST. Actions refers to the page in which the form data is sent.
The HTML tag helps us create and use a HTML user input form. Some of the important properties of a form are:action - Where to send the data once the form is submitted (Usually a servlet)method - determines the submission type (Usually get or post)name - name of the form
The enctype attribute indicates how the form data should be encoded. It is placed in the form tag inside it.
The HTML form tag is a container tag for holding HTML elements that allow the user to submit information to the server for processing. The form tag contains attributes like ID (which allows serverside code to identify the form) method (which is GET or POST, and defines how the info in the form will get sent to the server) and type (which is used to distinguish between regular forms, and forms that contain files.) The form tag also has the action attribute, which will tell the browser where to send the submitted data for processing. <form id="search" action="search.php" method="get"> <!--Form elements go here--> </form>
If you want to maintain W3C compliance, you can't use the FORM tag without the BODY tag. The FORM tag must be contained within the BODY tag. Like this <html> <head> <title>Our Cool Form Page</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="example.php"> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> </body> </html>
A file: practise.html <html> <body> <form method="post" action="another.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="text" name="field1" id="field1" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" /> </form> </body> </html> File: another.php <html> <body> <?php $text = $_POST['field1']; ?> <form> <input type="text" name="textfield1" id="txtfield" value="<?php echo $text; ?>" /> </form> </body> </html>
You can create a Form in HTML using the <FORM> tag. A sample form tag would be like <FORM name = "xxx" method = "xxx" action = "xxx"> ..... </FORM> Here name refers to the name of the form. This is the name with which you can call the form elements. Method refers to the way the form elements would be submitted. Either a GET or a POST Action refers to the URL to which the form is supposed to submit the information when the request is submitted. The <FORM> and </FORM> tags enclose all the form elements. The form can have text fields, buttons, radio buttons, check boxes etc...
In HTML5, which method is used to get the current location of a user?
It is Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
As subtle distinction between HTML and browser is that HTML code does not produce the form; the browser produces the form. The browser interprets HTML code to determine how to display page content.
