Specifies a form control.

ALIGN=TOP|MIDDLE|BOTTOM|LEFT|RIGHT

Aligns text to the form element. The default is TOP.

TOP	Surrounding text is aligned to the top of the form element.
MIDDLE	Surrounding text is aligned to the middle of the form element.
BOTTOM	Surrounding text is aligned to the bottom of the form element.
LEFT	Surrounding text is aligned to the left of the form element.
RIGHT	Surrounding text is aligned to the right of the form element.

CHECKED

Sets a check box or radio button to "selected" when the form first loads. Applies only to radio buttons and check boxes.

CLASS=type

Indicates the class to which the element belongs.

ID=value

Specifies a unique value for the element over the document.

MAXLENGTH=length

Indicates the maximum number of characters that can be entered into a text control.

NAME=name

Specifies the name of the control.

NOTAB

Specifies that the element does not appear in the tabbing order.

onBlur=event

Specifies an event to occur when the element loses focus.

onChange=event

Specifies an event to occur when the value of the element is changed.

onClick=event

Specifies an event to occur when the mouse is clicked on the element.

onFocus=event

Specifies an event to occur when the cursor focus is on the element.

onSelect=event

Specifies an event to occur when the element is selected.

SIZE=size

Specifies the size of the control (in characters). For TEXTAREA-type controls, both width and height can be specified using this format: "width,height".

SRC=url

Specifies the address of the image to be used. Used when TYPE=IMAGE. I>STYLE=css1 properties

Specifies style information.

TABINDEX=n

Specifies the order of the element in the tabbing sequence.

TITLE=text

Specifies an advisory title.

TYPE=type

Specifies what type of control to use. The default is TEXT.

TEXT	Used for a single-line text-entry field. Use in conjunction with the SIZE= and MAXLENGTH= attributes.
TEXTAREA	Used for a multiline text-entry field.
PASSWORD	The same as the = HREF="slide.htm"#htmlref2_0001000114000d0a>TEXT= attribute, except that text is not displayed as the user enters it.
CHECKBOX	The element appears as a check box.
RADIO	Used for attributes that accept a single value from a set of alternatives. Each radio button field in the group should be given the same name. Only the selected radio button in the group generates a name/value pair in the submitted data. Radio buttons require an explicit VALUE= attribute.
SUBMIT	A button that, when clicked, submits the form. You can use the VALUE= attribute to provide a non-editable label to be displayed on the button. The default label is application-specific. If a SUBMIT button is clicked to submit the form, and that button has a NAME= attribute specified, that button contributes a name/value pair to the submitted data. Otherwise, a SUBMIT button makes no contribution to the submitted data.
RESET	A button that, when clicked, resets the form's fields to their specified initial values. The label to be displayed on the button can be specified just as for the SUBMIT button.
FILE	Used to insert a file.
HIDDEN	No field is presented to the user, but the content of the field is sent with the submitted form. This value can be used to transmit state information about client/server interaction.
IMAGE	An image field that you can click, causing the form to be immediately submitted. The coordinates of the selected point are measured in pixel units from the upper-left corner of the image, and are returned (along with the other contents of the form) in two name/value pairs. The x-coordinate is submitted under the name of the field with ".x" appended, and the y-coordinate is submitted under the name of the field with ".y" appended. Any VALUE= attribute is ignored. The image itself is specified by the SRC= attribute, exactly as for the image element.
BUTTON	The element appears as a button.

VALUE=value

Specifies the default value of textual/numerical controls or specifies the value to be returned when the Boolean controls are turned on.

<FORM ACTION="http://intranet/survey" METHOD=POST>
