HTML Forms

A form is a special case of an HTML document. At the very least, it contains the FORM tag. It may also contain fill-in-blanks, push-buttons, and such.

Submission of a form is a special form of a request. The ACTION tag specifies the URL of a document (a gateway to be useful), and a method of delivering the data for submission.

There is a method for supporting forms with CGI.

Note that some clients support the use of E-mail to submit a form.
