HTML form attributes are special properties that can be added to the <form> element to modify its behavior and define how it interacts with the user and the server. Here are some of the most commonly used form attributes:
- action: This attribute specifies the URL of the server-side script that will process the form data.
- method: This attribute specifies the HTTP method used to submit the form. The most common methods are GET and POST.
- enctype: This attribute specifies the encoding type used to transmit the form data to the server. The most common types are application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data.
- target: This attribute specifies where the form response should be displayed. The most common values are _self (default), _blank, _parent, and _top.
- autocomplete: This attribute specifies whether the browser should autocomplete form fields.
- novalidate: This attribute specifies whether the browser should validate the form before submitting it.
- name: This attribute specifies a name for the form, which can be used to identify it in scripts.
- id: This attribute specifies a unique identifier for the form, which can be used to manipulate it with JavaScript.
- accept-charset: This attribute specifies the character encoding used to submit the form data.
- onsubmit: This attribute specifies a JavaScript function to be executed when the form is submitted
