<!DOCTYPE html>

<body>

<h2>Text input fields</h2>

<form>

<label for="fname">First name:</label><br>

Radio buttons let a user select ONE of a limited number of choices.

<h2>Radio Buttons</h2>

<input type="radio" id="male" name="gender" value="male">

<label for="male">Male</label><br>

<input type="radio" id="female" name="gender" value="female">

<label for="female">Female</label><br>

<input type="radio" id="other" name="gender" value="other">

<label for="other">Other</label>

</form>

</body>

</html>
Checkboxes

Checkboxes let a user select ZERO or MORE options of a limited number of


choices.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<body>

<h2>Checkboxes</h2>

<p>The <strong>input type="checkbox"</strong> defines a checkbox:</p>

<form action="/action_page.php">

<input type="checkbox" id="vehicle1" name="vehicle1" value="Bike">

<label for="vehicle1"> I have a bike</label><br>

<input type="checkbox" id="vehicle2" name="vehicle2" value="Car">

<label for="vehicle3"> I have a boat</label><br><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>
The Submit Button

The <input type="submit"> defines a button for submitting the form data to a


form-handler.

The form-handler is typically a file on the server with a script for processing
input data.

The form-handler is specified in the form's action attribute.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<h2>HTML Forms</h2>

<form action="/action_page.php">

<label for="fname">First name:</label><br>

<input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="John"><br>

<label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>

<input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="Doe"><br><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

"/action_page.php".</p>
