Question. What is the difference between the <Datalist> and <Select> elements?
Ans. The <datalist> element allows the user to add the input as he wishes, whereas the user has
the option to select an input from the provided list when using the <select> element.
The <SELECT> tag is used to add a drop-down list in the form. This tag produces a list of options
for the user with the help of <OPTION> tag. We can create a combo box using <SELECT> and
<OPTION> tags.
4. The <FORM> tag is used to create the form boundary on the web page. It is a container tag. All
other form related tags are used inside the opening <FORM> and closing </FORM> tags. The
<FORM> tag has three attributes, which are:
a. ACTION: This attribute is used to specify the action that will take place when we submit the form
values. It takes the URL of another web page or an e-mail address to receive the information.
b. METHOD: It specifies the type of method form will use to accept the values entered into form
fields. The most commonly used values for this attribute are POST and GET.
c. ENCTYPE: It is used to specify that how a web browser decodes the data before sending it to
the server.
