What Are HTML Forms?

HTML forms are essential for collecting user input on websites. They allow users to submit information such as contact details, feedback, or login credentials. Common use cases include contact forms, signup forms, and feedback forms. Forms act as a bridge between users and web applications, enabling interactive experiences.

Let's break down the example form:

• The <form> element defines the form area;
• Inside, the <input type="text"> creates a single-line text field for the user's name;
• The <button type="submit"> adds a button to send the form data. This structure is the foundation for more complex forms.
