HTML Forms & Inputs

Author

Pascual Vila

Frontend Instructor // Code Syllabus

HTML Forms are the bridge between your users and your application logic. They allow you to collect data, from simple contact messages to complex financial transactions.

The Container

Everything starts with the <form> tag. It wraps all the interactive controls. The action attribute defines where the data goes, and the method attribute defines how it is sent (usually GET or POST).

Input Types

The <input> tag is the chameleon of HTML. By changing the type attribute, it can become a checkbox, a radio button, a password field, or a file uploader.

Accessibility with Labels

A raw input is useless to a screen reader. The <label> tag associates a text description with a form control. This is done by matching the for attribute of the label with the id of the input.
