The Form

A Form is a container object that can be inserted into a web page and can be used to send user information from a web page to a mail box, or it may allow a user to interact with a webpage or the browser. The form itself is a container for other components, and has two methods, GET and POST, to send data from a web page to a mail box you will need use the POST method and provide a mailto:email@address.com. The email will have an attachment that is a text file containing all the data that was input from the web page. The attachment is not formatted and the fields are delimited with strange characters so it is important to label each component on your form so it can be decoded.

A form is used for many other reasons also, once you have inserted some labled components you can then refer to them using javascript either inputting or outputing values, typical uses are search engines, database input etc.
