JavaScript/HTML Forms?

in this HTML tutorial,
http://w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp

it says that the form element is
<form>
blahblah
</form>

but in this JavaScript one, it doesn't use any tags.

What is the difference? :/

 

One uses tags one doesn't use tags.

 

They are different languages. HTML uses tags such as <i> and </i>, <b> and </b> etc. JavaScript is used with parts of your HTML. For example, JavaScript could be used to check if the user had put text into the name field and not numbers.

 

Javascript can be used to dynamically create forms with GetInnerHTML()
That's pretty much it. Forms are nearly useless without any server-side application anyways, so you have to use PHP, ASP, or some other server side system to get anything to work.

 

If you need some simple form, I would recommend you use PHP. W3schools has a nice tutorial on it.

And what do you want to do with the data? If you want to insert it into a table, you can use mysql_query() to insert the data into a table of your choice. There's lots of tutorials on that on google, but if you need help creating a db, table, or inserting data tell me and I can guide you through it.
