Web form
Extracted from the Wikipedia article HTML form.
A webform, web form or HTML form on a web page allows a user to enter data that is sent to a server for processing. Forms can resemble paper or database forms because web users fill out the forms using checkboxes, radio buttons, or text fields. For example, forms can be used to enter shipping or data to order a product, or can be used to retrieve search results from a search engine.
