Forms

HTML forms are a well-known convention for gathering data from the user of a graphical Web browser. You can group any number of HTML elements within a form, and submit all the data in the form by means of a submit button.

Forms are useful when you want to gather a series of related data, such as a person's name, address, and phone number.

Internet Explorer constructs an HTTP request from all the information in the form. It then sends that request to the location specified in the ACTION attribute on the FORM element. A Web telephony application can send an HTTP request using elements in a form or using the same elements without a form. This is because, either way, the WTE renders each element sequentially, waiting for the caller's response before rendering the next element.
