URL Form


Very Simple (but useful) Introduction to Forms:

This is a functional use of the <form> tags to send users to a new Web address by clicking on a generic button. This type of application will work without the necessity for server-side scripts and programming.

<form> Tag & Attributes:
<form
— Contains all elements of the <form>
   method="get | post" — procedure to process the information
      action="what will happen"> — usually a URL to a CGI or HTML document
</form>

<input> Tag & Attributes:
<input — sets up receiving input from the user
   type="submit" — creates a button to carry out the action
   value="button message" — the label visible on the button
>

 

Example Code:
<form method="get" action="http://www.yahoo.com">
   
<input type="submit" value=" Click Me " />
</form>

 

The Result:
