Introduction

Forms are best learnt using a hands on approach. To become proficient with HTML forms you need to create many, sorting out the problematic nuances as you go along. Therefore, the main content of the unit is a series of sections: the first is a short introduction to HTML forms; the second discusses each form element, and involves some textbook study. (You may find it more convenient to postpone activities until you have covered all the form elements.)
