A form is simply a container that holds objects that accept user inputs. Forms are used for signing up for services or applying to college. The project we will complete will be a job application at Bob’s Burgers.

Form fields are objects that allow the visitor to enter information - for example text boxes are used for entering names, addresses and phone numbers. Drop-down menus allow the user to make a selection among a list of choices, like the state you live in. Radio buttons allow the user to chooe one option, such as male or female.

When the visitor clicks a submit button, the content of the form is usually sent to a program that runs on the server. However, there are exceptions.

Javascript is sometimes used to create magic with form fields. An example could be when turning options in a drop-down menu into normal links.
