Forms are use to gather information from a user, and typically post user information to a server that is expecting it. We will cover this in more detail when we get to our HTTP / REST unit.

Common form elements: <input> (text, email, password, etc.), <textarea> (multi-line text), <select> (dropdown), <button> (submit). Always use <label> tags for accessibility.
