Forms & Input Types

Data collection is the backbone of the interactive web. HTML forms provide the semantic structure for user input.

The Form Element

The <form> element acts as a container. It manages how data is submitted via attributes like action (destination) and method (GET/POST).

Inputs & Types

The <input> tag is the workhorse of forms. By changing the type attribute, you can collect text, emails, passwords, dates, and more.

Accessibility

Every input needs a label. Using the <label> tag with a for attribute linked to the input's ID ensures that screen readers can correctly identify the field.
