The form element

All HTML forms is encapsulated in the `<form>` element.

<form action="index.html" method="post">
</form>

It is a block element, and a container like a <div>. As you can see, it has two attributes. The action defines the location (URL) where the form's data should be sent. The method defines which HTTP method to send the data with (GET or POST). The action and method attributes will not be used in this course, but you can read more about sending data to the server here here.
