Forms in HTML

Forms in HTML allow users to enter input that is then sent to a server. Common form elements include <input>, <label>, <select>, <option>, and <textarea>. The <input> element defines different types of form fields like text, password, radio buttons, checkboxes. The <label> element binds a label to a form field to help screen readers and improve usability. <select> creates a drop-down list and <option> defines the options. <textarea> defines a multi-line text input field specifying visible rows and columns.

The <label> tag defines a label for many form elements. The for attribute of
the <label> tag should be equal to the id attribute of the <input> element to

The <label> element is useful for screen-reader users, because the screen-
reader will read out loud the label when the user focus 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.
