Let’s assume you want to create a form, the first thing you need to do is define a Form element. The following shows a code snippet how this can be achieved.

<form id="form1">
</form>

Form tags like other HTML tags apply the functions to anything and everything in between the opening and the closing tags and this will be the part of the Form.

Note:

• “<form>” tags are not limited to one form on a page.
  
  
• You can have as many sets of “<form>” tags as you need.

For example:

• To provide a login form and a Signup form on the same page.
  
  
• This can be achieved by making sure that the “<form>” tags are not nested.
  
  
• “<form>” tag is an invisible tag and it will not change the way in which the page is rendered at the browser, but some browsers seem to leave a small space after a form.

You can leave a “<form>” tag without anything in between them and nothing will be shown. When using the “<form>” tags there are THREE main attributes which can be used and are as follows:

• HTML Form Action attribute
  
  
• HTML Form  Method attribute
  
  
• HTML Form Name attribute
