Lecture 31:- Form Attributes

There are several attributes that can be used to control the behavior of an HTML form:

1. action: Specifies the URL of the page that will process the form data when the form is submitted. For example:

lessCopy code

<form action="https://www.example.com/form-processor"> ... </form>

1. method: Specifies the HTTP method (e.g. GET or POST) to be used when submitting the form data. For example:

phpCopy code

<form action="https://www.example.com/form-processor" method="post"> ... </form>

1. enctype: Specifies the encoding type to be used when submitting the form data. The default value is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". For file uploads, use "multipart/form-data". For example:

phpCopy code

<form action="https://www.example.com/form-processor" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> ... </form>

1. target: Specifies the target frame or window where the result of the form submission should be displayed. For example:

phpCopy code

<form action="https://www.example.com/form-processor" method="post" target="_blank"> ... </form>

1. name: Specifies the name of the form, which can be used to access the form and its elements using JavaScript. For example:

phpCopy code

<form action="https://www.example.com/form-processor" method="post" name="contact-form"> ... </form>

1. onsubmit: Specifies a JavaScript function to be executed when the form is submitted. This can be used to perform form validation before the form data is sent to the server. For example:

phpCopy code

<form action="https://www.example.com/form-processor" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm()"> ... </form>
