HTML Form Elements Documentation

Form Element Attributes

The HTML form element supports various attributes to control its behavior. Three commonly used attributes are:

1. novalidate: This attribute disables form validation when set to "novalidate."

2. method: The method attribute defines the HTTP method for submitting the form, commonly "get" or "post."

3. action: The action attribute specifies the URL to which the form data should be submitted.

Form Elements: fieldset and legend

The fieldset element is used to group related form elements together, and the legend element provides a caption for the content within the fieldset.

Using fieldset and legend enhances the accessibility and structure of your forms.

Form Element: label and Attributes (for and id)

The label element associates a label with a form control, enhancing usability. Use the "for" attribute in the label to specify the corresponding input element's "id."

For example:

<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username">
