The <form> Element and Its Attributes

The <form> element is the container for all form controls. Key attributes include:

• action: URL where form data is sent after submission;
• method: HTTP method (GET or POST) for data submission;
• autocomplete: enables or disables browser autofill;
• novalidate: disables built-in validation.

The action* attribute determines where the form data goes after submission. The method attribute specifies how data is sent (GET appends data to the URL, POST sends it in the request body). autocomplete helps users fill out forms faster, while novalidate can be used to handle validation manually.
