Form Basics : Introduction « Form « JavaScript Tutorial

An HTML form is defined by using the

1. method -- Indicates whether the browser should sent a GET request or a POST request
2. action -- Indicates the URL to which the form should be submitted
3. enctype -- The way the data should be encoded when sent to the server. The default is application/x-www-url-encoded, but it may be set to multipart/form-data if the form is uploading a file.
4. accept -- Lists the mime types the server will handle correctly when a file is uploaded
5. accept-charset -- Lists the character encodings that are accepted by the server when data is submitted
