Start a Form

"Forms" gather various input from visitors before processing the submitted information. Examples of common forms include Payment Details, Subscribe to mailing lists, Rating systems, etc
Options
Form NameAn internal name for the form. Useful if your webpage has more than one form, or if you plan to access/control form elements via scripting
Submit Form Data ToThis is usually an URL to which the form should be sent to upon completion by the visitor. This resulting URL will then take this form data, process it, and inform the visitor accordingly
Data EncodingAllows specifying how the form data should be transmitted over the Internet. If your form contains a "File Upload" input, the "Data Encoding" for the form should be set to "multipart/form-data" to ensure that the uploaded file is transmitted correctly
Delivery MethodSets whether form data should be send using the "Post" method or "Get" method. Generally, the "Get" method will append the form data onto the end of the URL that the form is being submitted to, with the expectation that resulting data will be returned to the browser. Most Search Engines use the "Get" delivery method when you submit your search terms and corresponding results are returned. "Post" is generally a more secure way of transmitting your form data, as data is not appended to the sending URL. It is also more practical form lengthy form submissions. The results of a "post" operation do not require a browser response once the data has been sent, as the "get" method does
Use AutoCompleteMany modern browsers have an "AutoComplete" feature which attempts to fill in form fields for you, based upon previous form entries you've made. Disabling AutoComplete for your form will prevent this from happening, and require a visitor to enter fresh information into the form each time. This is particularly useful to disable for forms containing sensitive data, such as password/credit card entries
