<form> basics

HTML form with

one submit button

A form usually has one

“submit” button

If you press it…

… you jump to a different page

Let’s see how

<form> works

“action” is a file,

which processes submitted data

It’s usually NOT an .html file

Rather, a server-side

program file, like .php

However, we are using .html

for demo

“method” is either “get” or “post”

Later lessons will explain difference

between “get” and “post

input type=“submit” creates

a submit button

“value” is the display text

of the button

Create action.html

Rendering in the

browser

Press the button

URL also changed to

action.html
