Form controls live inside a \<form> tag. This tag should always carry the action attribute and will usually have a method and id attribute too.
The following table lists the most frequently used form element's attributes:
Attribute | Description
----- | -----
name | Specifies the name of the form.
action | Specifies the URL of the program or script on the web server that will be used for processing the information submitted via form.
method | Specifies the HTTP method used for sending the data to the web server by the browser. The value can be either get (the default) and post.
target | Specifies where to display the response that is received after submitting the form. Possible values are _blank, _self, _parent and _top.
enctype | Specifies how the form data should be encoded when submitting the form to the server. Applicable only when the value of the method attribute is post.
