The public key could be used to generate a client certificate to authenticate the user in the future.

The HTML <form>
element defines a form that is used to collect user input:
An HTML form contains form elements.
Form elements are different types of input elements, like: text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, submit buttons, and more.
The <input>
element is the most important form element.
The <input>
element is displayed in several ways, depending on the type attribute.
Here are some examples:
Type | Description |
---|---|
<input type='text'> | Defines a single-line text input field |
<input type='radio'> | Defines a radio button (for selecting one of many choices) |
<input type='submit'> | Defines a submit button (for submitting the form) |
You will learn a lot more about input types later in this tutorial.
<input type='text'>
defines a single-line input field for text input.
A form with two text input fields:
This is how it will look like in a browser:
Note: The form itself is not visible. Also note that the default width of an input field is 20 characters.
Notice the use of the <label>
element in the example above.
The <label>
tag defines a label for many form elements.
The <label>
element is useful for screen-reader users, because the screen-reader will read out load the label when the user is focused on the input element.
The <label>
element also help users who have difficulty clicking on very small regions (such as radio buttons or checkboxes) - because when the user clicks the text within the <label> element, it toggles the radio button/checkbox.
The for
attribute of the <label> tag should be equal to the id
attribute of the <input> element to bind them together.
<input type='radio'>
defines a radio button.
Radio buttons let a user select ONE of a limited number of choices.
A form with radio buttons:
This is how the HTML code above will be displayed in a browser:
<input type='submit'>
defines a button for submitting the form data to a form-handler.
The form-handler is typically a page on the server with a script for processing input data.
The form-handler is specified in the form's action attribute.
A form with a submit button:
This is how the HTML code above will be displayed in a browser:
The action
attribute defines the action to be performed when the form is submitted.
Usually, the form data is sent to a page on the server when the user clicks on the submit button.
In the example above, the form data is sent to a page on the server called '/action_page.php'. This page contains a server-side script that handles the form data:
If the action
attribute is omitted, the action is set to the current page.
The target
attribute specifies if the submitted result will open in a new browser tab, a frame, or in the current window.
The default value is '_self
' which means the form will be submitted in the current window.
To make the form result open in a new browser tab, use the value '_blank
'.
Here, the submitted result will open in a new browser tab:
Try it Yourself »Other legal values are '_parent
', '_top
', or a name representing the name of an iframe.
The method
attribute specifies the HTTP method (GET or POST) to be used when submitting the form data.
Use the GET method when submitting the form:
Try it Yourself »or:
Use the POST method when submitting the form:
Try it Yourself »The default HTTP method when submitting form data is GET.
However, when GET is used, the form data will be visible in the page's address field:
Notes on GET:
Always use POST if the form data contains sensitive or personal information. The POST method does not display the form data in the page address field.
Notes on POST:
Each input field must have a name
attribute to be submitted.
If the name
attribute is omitted, the data of that input field will not be sent at all.
This example will not submit the value of the 'First name' input field:
Here is the list of all <form>
attributes:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
accept-charset | Specifies the charset used in the submitted form (default: the page charset). |
action | Specifies an address (url) where to submit the form (default: the submitting page). |
autocomplete | Specifies if the browser should autocomplete the form (default: on). |
enctype | Specifies the encoding of the submitted data (default: is url-encoded). |
method | Specifies the HTTP method used when submitting the form (default: GET). |
name | Specifies a name used to identify the form (for DOM usage: document.forms.name). |
novalidate | Specifies that the browser should not validate the form. |
target | Specifies the target of the address in the action attribute (default: _self). |
You will learn more about the form attributes in the next chapters.
