System Briefing: Receiving User Data

An interface must accept input from the operator. The <form> element is the container for all user inputs, and the <input> tag is the most common tool for gathering data.

Core Form Elements
  • <form>: A container for different types of input elements, such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, submit buttons, etc.
  • <input>: The workhorse of forms. Its behavior is determined by its type attribute.
    • type="text": A single-line text input field.
    • type="submit": A button that, when clicked, submits the form data to a server (defined in the form's action attribute).
