CSPP552: Web Programming, Forms part 7
Form methods (get)
- The method of a form specifies how the input data is transmitted to the
server
- There are two methods: get and post
- The get method works by transmitting the parameters in the URL
- Example (hit the click button and then look at the URL):
- This works fairly well for small input such as search strings, radio
buttons, checkboxes, listboxes, ..
- Not so good for large, complex forms and text area forms (we haven't
talked about these)
