Definition and Usage
The method attribute specifies how to send form-data (the form-data is sent to the page specified in the action attribute).The form-data can be sent as URL variables (with method="get") or as HTTP post transaction (with method="post").
Notes on GET:
- Appends form-data into the URL in name/value pairs
- The length of a URL is limited (about 3000 characters)
- Never use GET to send sensitive data! (will be visible in the URL)
- Useful for form submissions where a user want to bookmark the result
- GET is better for non-secure data, like query strings in Google
- Appends form-data inside the body of the HTTP request (data is not shown is in URL)
- Has no size limitations
- Form submissions with POST cannot be bookmarked
<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
