HTML FORMS

HTML forms: provide a way for users to input data and send it to a server for
processing. They consist of one or more form elements, such as text fields,
checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdown menus, and buttons. These elements
allow users to enter data, make selections, and interact with the form.
Let's look at examples of different form elements and their usage:
1. Text Input: The <input> element is used to create a text input field where
users can type text. The type attribute specifies the type of input, and name
attribute provides a name for the input.
Example code(Text Input)
<form>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name">
</form>
2.Password Input: The <input> element can also be used to create a
password input field where the entered text is masked. The type attribute
is set to "password" for this purpose.
3.Checkbox: The <input> element with type="checkbox" creates a checkbox input.
The value attribute defines the value associated with the checkbox, and the checked
attribute determines if it's initially selected.
Example code(checkbox)
<form>
<input type="checkbox" id="option1" name="option1" value="option1">
<label for="option1">Option 1</label><br>
<input type="checkbox" id="option2" name="option2" value="option2" checked>
<label for="option2">Option 2</label><br>
</form>
4. Radio Buttons: Radio buttons are used when users need to select a single option
from a list. The <input> element with type="radio" creates a radio button. The name
attribute groups the buttons together, and each button has a unique value.
Example code(Radio Buttons)
<form>
<input type="radio" id="option1" name="option" value="option1">
<label for="option1">Option 1</label><br>
<input type="radio" id="option2" name="option" value="option2" checked>
<label for="option2">Option 2</label><br>
</form>
5.Select Dropdown: The <select> element creates a dropdown menu, and the
<option> elements define the available options. The selected attribute specifies
the initially selected option.
Example code(select dropdown)
<form>
<label for="country">Select Country:</label>
<select id="country" name="country">
<option value="usa">USA</option>
<option value="canada" selected>Canada</option>
<option value="uk">UK</option>
</select>
</form>
6. Submit Button: The <input> element with type="submit" creates a submit
button to send the form data to the server.
Example code(Submit Button)
<form>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
