html form encoding,<form>

accept This is an obsolete API and is no longer guaranteed to work.

Comma-separated content types the server accepts.

This attribute was removed in HTML5 and should not be used. Instead, use the accept attribute on elements.

Space-separated character encodings the server accepts. The browser uses them in the order in which they are listed. The default value means the same encoding as the page.

(In previous versions of HTML, character encodings could also be delimited by commas.)

The URL that processes the form submission. This value can be overridden by a formaction attribute on a ,

A nonstandard attribute used by iOS Safari that controls how textual form elements should be automatically capitalized. autocapitalize attributes on a form elements override it on

sentences (default): Capitalize the first letter of each sentence.

words: Capitalize the first letter of each word.

characters: Capitalize all characters — that is, uppercase.

. Possible values:

off: The browser may not automatically complete entries. (Browsers tend to ignore this for suspected login forms; see The autocomplete attribute and login fields.)

on: The browser may automatically complete entries.

If the value of the method attribute is post, enctype is the MIME type of the form submission. Possible values:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded: The default value.

multipart/form-data: Use this if the form contains elements with type=file.

text/plain: Introduced by HTML5 for debugging purposes.

The HTTP method to submit the form with. Possible values:

post: The POST method; form data sent as the request body.

get: The GET method; form data appended to the action URL with a ? separator. Use this method when the form has no side-effects.

dialog: When the form is inside a  (en-US), closes the dialog on submission.

Indicates where to display the response after submitting the form. In HTML 4, this is the name/keyword for a frame. In HTML5, it is a name/keyword for a browsing context (for example, tab, window, or iframe). The following keywords have special meanings:

_self (default): Load into the same browsing context as the current one.

_blank: Load into a new unnamed browsing context.

_parent: Load into the parent browsing context of the current one. If no parent, behaves the same as _self.

_top: Load into the top-level browsing context (i.e., the browsing context that is an ancestor of the current one and has no parent). If no parent, behaves the same as _self.

This value can be overridden by a formtarget attribute on a ,
