    Study Notes

    Introduction to HTML and Forms (Part 2)

    • HTML is used to structure web content.
    • Forms collect user information.
    • Form objectives: Students will be able to create HTML document forms.

    HTML Forms

    • Collect information from users viewing a site.
    • The FORM element organizes and sends the information to the server.
    • The METHOD attribute tells the server how to process the data.
      • POST submits data for processing to a specified resource.
      • GET requests data from a resource, data is visible in the URL.
    • The ACTION attribute specifies the path to a script (CGI / ASP/PHP/PY) that processes the data.
    • GET method limitations:
      • Data length limited to 2048 characters.
      • Only ASCII characters are allowed.
      • Less secure as the data is visible in the URL.
    • POST method advantages:
      • No restrictions on data length or type (binary data is allowed).
      • More secure data as the data is not displayed in the URL; stored in the browser history or server logs.
