Form Basics
Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's HTML journey — lesson 35 of 60.
In HTML, forms are used to collect user input. A form is a section of a document that contains controls such as text fields, buttons, checkboxes, and more.
Users can interact with these controls to provide data, which can then be sent to a server for processing. Forms are essential for creating interactive web pages that allow users to submit information, such as login credentials, search queries, or feedback.
Here's the basic structure of an HTML form:
<form>
<!-- Form elements go here -->
</form>
