Submitting Forms, Server Scripting Mechanisms and Security Issues

Forms are one of the core parts of HTML functionality. They let users submit key information and are used in every industry and on most websites. They’re a big topic, so in this module we’ll go into a lot of detail. You’ll learn about forms in general, text and push buttons and multi-line inputs. Then we’ll move onto checkbox and radio buttons, as well as list boxes and drop down lists. One of the more detailed lessons in this module comes up next, with a deep dive into some of the input types you can use in your forms. Finally, we’ll end the module off with form validation and a little bit about form validation, server scripting and a few security issues you need to be aware of.
