How to Create HTML Forms
To create a form element we need 2 basic tags, namely:
<form>
Used to start in creating a form. The <form> tag has several attributes but the attributes that are often used include:
The “action” attribute is used to specify the address (url) where to submit the form
The “method” attribute is used to specify the HTTP method used when submitting a GET or POST form
<input>
Used to determine what type of input you want to make. The <input> tag consists of several attributes, namely:
Attribute “name” Specifies the name used to identify the form.
The "type" attribute is used to determine what type of input you want to create, this attribute consists of several types, for example:
<input type="text"> is input that accepts text as input.
<input type="password"> is input that accepts text as input but the inputted text will not be visible.
<input type="radio"> is input used to give the user several choices.
<input type="checkbox"> is input in the form of a checkbox that can be checked or checked by the user
<input type="submit"> is used to display the button to process the form.
<input type="button"> is used the same as submit but is usually used with JavaScript or VBScript to generate an action.
<input type="image" src="url"> is used to change the submit button with an image.
<input type="reset"> is used to reset or delete all entries that have been filled in the form.
<button>
Used to create a button to process the form which is more recommended than submit input. The attribute used is the same as input, but there are only 3 types used in the attribute type, namely:
<button type="submit"></button>
<button type="button"></button>
<button type="reset"></button>
<select>
Used the same as <input type="radio"> to give the user options but with a drop down menu-like appearance. This <select> tag has an additional tag, namely the <option> tag which is used to enter the options of the choice.
