How do I use forms?
Answer:
The basic syntax for a form is: <FORM ACTION="[URL]">...</FORM>
When the form is submitted, the form data is sent to the URL specified in the ACTION attribute. This URL should refer to a server-side (e.g., CGI) program that will process the form data. The form itself should contain
► at least one submit button (i.e., an <INPUT TYPE="submit" ...> element),
► form data elements (e.g., <INPUT>, <TEXTAREA>, and <SELECT>) as needed, and
► additional markup (e.g., identifying data elements, presenting instructions) as needed.
