HTML Forms

HTML Forms allow you to request information from the user. This information can then be processed on the client using the document object model or it can be send back to the server.

HTML 4.0 added many new features to forms. In addition to the existing text box and standard buttons, HTML 4.0 adds a rich HTML button container, HTML labels for defining content as a label for different controls, and fieldsets that group multiple related input fields.

In addition, you can now control whether an input control is read only or disabled. Combined with scripting you can dynamically switch this on or off based on different input. For example, if the user says they want more information you can enable the address fields, otherwise you can disable them. This clarifies what information you are requesting from the user.

We now invite you to explore this section. You will find we made this area more interactive to let you play and experience the controls.
