12.8 Summary
A form is exactly what it says it is, a form that the user fills-in.
The method attribute tells the server how to submit the form information.
Text fields offer a small rectangular box that’s always ready to receive information from
viewers.
A text field is placed on a web page using the <input> tag, with the type attribute set with
a value of “text”.
The World Wide Web got its spidery name from the plentiful connections (links) that link
websites together with the click of a button.
Font face and color depends entirely on the computer and browser that is being used to
view your page.
The HTML <header> tag represents a group of introductory or navigational aids.
Comments are a great asset to new developers and a great way to place little notes to
yourself reminding yourself what pieces of code are doing what.
