EXPLORING FORM CREATION, INPUT ATTRIBUTES, AND VALUES
To create a form, use the start and end tags. All of the form’s content and fields go
between the two tags. Most forms also include the id attribute in the start tag, as follows:
LICENSED PRODUCT NOT FOR RESALE
The fieldset element is used with many forms to group related elements. The
tag draws a box around individual elements and/or around the entire form, as shown in
Figure 3-18.

The fieldset element
groups related elements in a
form and adds a border
If the form is included in an HTML document with other items, you can use the tag
at the beginning and end of the form to separate it from other content. Using the tag
also lets you include inline formatting, if the form uses tags to align fields vertically short and
simple and you don’t want to create a CSS style sheet. The tag uses the id attribute
and appears before the first tag. The label element displays the label for each field.
An example of the markup for a very simple form is:
Name
Email
The form is shown in Figure 3-19.
