enctype is an abbreviation of 'encoding type', it is used to tell the browser the MIME type of the data being transferred, the default MIME type is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' and is not even necessary to input, but if the form type is uploading an image or another media type then the 'enctype' will have to be set for media encoding, 'multipart/form-data'.

What is enctype in HTML?

Enctype is a portmanteau of "encoding type." In HTML enctype is an attribute applied to FORM tags. This attribute tells the browser how the data in the form should be encoded, prior to it being sent to the form's action.There are three valid values for the enctype attribute:application/x-www-form-urlencodedmultipart/form-datatext/plainThe first value, application/x-www-form-urlencoded, is the default value. When the browser sees this value, it will URL encode all the data in the form. This means that spaces are converted to "+" signs, and special characters are converted to their ASCII HEX value.Multipart/form-data is the encoding type used to prevent the encoding of the data by the browser. You must use this encoding type if you want to implement a form that uploads files. (Because encoding the binary data in a file would not be good.)The final type, text/plain, leaves the data unencoded except for changing the spaces into "+" signs.

How do you upload imeges program by HTML language then show imeages onto web page?

You cannot upload a file using HTML alone. HTML doesn't have the right to write to the server. You're going to need a backend script written with PHP, ASP, Perl, Java, Ruby, Python, etc. That said, you're going to want to create a form. The HTML form should have at least one file upload field. You're going to point the action to the aforementioned upload script. To upload files, you need to be sure that the form enctype is set to "multipart." <form action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" id="upfile"> <input type="submit" id="submit"> </form> This form will send the data to the upload.php script on the server. That script will have to verify the data is safe, then write that data to the server somewhere. Once the image is on the server, you'll just use an image tag the same way you would for any other server-based image. <img src="image-we-uploaded.jpg" alt="Yay!"> There you have it. See the related questions for specifics regarding file upload scripts in various languages.
