HTML FORM methods

Types of method in html form:

• GET

• POST

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE:

GET:

• The common difference is that get method in little bit unsafe

• create cache file

• store data in history

• Which can be access through history

• it sends the data through url

  POST:

• this method is safer

• it sends the data to the request body which is a complete new page

• all the logic is handled by the server side

• this is secure as the data is not saved anywhere

• directly the data is posted to the sever side by the request body

  ACTION:

  • action=”/signup”

  • route = url of the website

  • make easy to differentiate the data in the server side

  • eg. like you have two form one login and another signup then in which dB the data will go it is decided by the action or route

USE OF VALUE ATTRIBUTE:

• the value attribute in input field helps a lot to server to distinguish the received

• eg. if the user select the gender as “male” then if you don’t give the value in the input tag it will show gender as on not as male
