Describe the

element and the attributes associated with it.

What will be an ideal response?

The element is the container for creating a form, as the

element is the container for the elements that create a table. A form has a number of attributes that describe how the form data is handled. They are as follows:

action: The URL of the application that processes the form data; this URL points to a script file or an e-mail address.

enctype: The content type used to submit the form to the server (when the value of the method is "post"); most forms do not need this attribute.

method: Specifies the HTTP method used to submit the form data; the default value is "get".
            • get: The form data is appended to the URL specified in the action attribute
            • post: The form data is sent to the server as a separate message

accept: A comma-separated list of content types that a server processing this form can handle correctly; most forms do not need this attribute.

accept-charset: A list of allowed character sets for input data that is accepted by the server processing this form; most forms do not need this attribute.

The element by itself does not create a form. It must contain form controls (such as elements) and structural elements such as

or

to control the look of the form.
