Submodule 8.1: The HTML of forms

The below code shows the basic structure of a form:

<form action="destination" method="get or post">
   . . . form elements go here . . .
   <input type="submit">
</form>

• action="destination" this defines the place where the data are going to be sent when the user clicks the submit button. 
• method="get": the information sent to the server will be visible in the uRL field
• method="post": the information sent to the server as part of HTTP body; is not visible in the URL. Post is a better choice for keeping secrets 
• <input type="submit">: this defines a submit button (for submitting the form)
