FORM
A form is a template for a form data set and an associated
method and action URI. A form data set is a sequence of
name/value pair fields. The names are specified on the NAME
attributes of form input elements, and the values are given
initial values by various forms of markup and edited by the
user. The resulting form data set is used to access an
information service as a function of the action and method.
Forms elements can be mixed in with document structuring
elements. For example, a
<PRE> element may contain a <FORM>
element, or a <FORM> element may contain lists which contain
<INPUT> elements.
This gives considerable flexibility in
designing the layout of forms.
