Coding Forms

Submit and Reset buttons usually go at the end of the form. You can control the text the button displays and it automatically sizes the button to fit the text.

Application: Add a submit and a reset button to my_form.html. Change the value of the submit button to Send Form. Change the value of the reset button to Reset all Form Fields.
Example: Form with most form elements in a table layout.

VALUE= sets what will appear as the text of the button. This works for both submit and reset buttons.

SUBMIT tells the browser, when the button is clicked, send the form to the Web server for processing by the script or program.

RESET tells the browser, when the button is clicked, reset the form to the default values. The default values can be either blank, or in some situations may contain text or identify a checked box, or a radio button pre-selected.
