8.1.1. Form: FORM
8.1.1. Form: FORM
The <FORM> element contains a sequence of input elements, along
with document structuring elements. The attributes are:
- ACTION
-
specifies the action URI for the form. The action URI of
a form defaults to the base URI of the document (see 7,
"Hyperlinks").
- METHOD
-
selects a method of accessing the action URI. The set of
applicable methods is a function of the scheme of the
action URI of the form. See 8.2.2, "Query Forms:
METHOD=GET" and 8.2.3, "Forms with Side-Effects:
METHOD=POST".
- ENCTYPE
-
specifies the media type used to encode the name/value
pairs for transport, in case the protocol does not
itself impose a format. See 8.2.1, "The form-urlencoded
Media Type".
