Understand what HTML forms are, why websites need them, and how data is collected from users.
Forms allow users to send data to a website. ## Why forms are important Forms are used everywhere: - login pages - contact forms - signup pages - search boxes - feedback forms Without forms, websites cannot receive user input. ## Basic form structure ```html <form> <label>Name:</label> <input type="text" /> <button type="submit">Send</button> </form> ``` ## UI Preview A text box appears with a Send button. ## Important idea HTML form only **collects data**. Sending, saving, validating data is handled by backend (PHP, Node, etc). ## Remember Form = user input entry point
