Nice introduction for beginners! Covering the common form attributes in one place is really helpful.

One small suggestion though: I’d double-check the sample code before publishing. I noticed a few things like the

tag being closed too early, the submit control using type="button" instead of type="submit", and the radio buttons using different name values, which means they won’t behave as a single group.

The concepts are solid—the example just needs a little polish to match them. 😊
