HTML Forms

An HTML form is used to collect user input. The HTML <form> element creates an HTML form for user input. The <form> element is a container for different types of <input> elements, such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, submit buttons, etc.

Using forms can be a good way to collect input data to use somewhere else.
