Used in
form_content
You select the type of control to include in the form with the
<input>
tag's
type
attribute, and you name the field (used during the form submission
process to the server; see earlier description) with the
name
attribute. If
you do not specify it, the
type
field defaults to a value of
text
. Although
the value of the
name
attribute is technically an arbitrary string, we re-
commend that you use a name without embedded spaces or punctuation.
