IES: HTML dk13

Question 1

• Data sent to server: append a “query string” (begins with a “?”) to the Python script URL.
• Multiple “query string” key=value pairs are separated by an “&”
• Data can be sent: enter URL with query string directly into the address bar; hyperlink targeting the URL and query string; or JavaScript that sets location to the URL and query string

Answer 1

Test Server

Question 2

• Built from HTML elements that send data to a web server for processing by a specified server-side script
• Each includes a name attribute and a value attribute processed as key=value pairs

Answer 2

Web page forms

Question 3

• All form component elements are enclosed between these tags.
• Must include a method attribute to specify the submission method as GET or POST
• Must include an action attribute to specify the URL of the processing script

Answer 3

<form>
</form>

Question 4

• Attribute that specifies which HTTP method is used to submit the form
• Can be assigned values of “GET” or “POST”

Answer 4

method

Question 5

• The preferred submission method of forms: appends the data to the URL
• Data sent by this method is attached to the request as a query string, so may be visible in the browser’s address field in the web server’s response.
• They only allow the URL to append up to around 200 characters ( varies by browser)

Answer 5

GET

Question 6

• Submission method of forms that encodes the data differently from the GET method.
• Can be used when the GET method fails.
• You can submit by the POST method to prevent sensitive data from being visible in the browser’s address field with the web server’s response.
• Provides a much larger capacity than the GET method as the text is sent as “Form Data” along with the HTTP header, not simply appended to the URL.

Answer 6

POST

Question 7

Answer 8

Submit button

Question 9

• An HTML form can provide these.
• Created by assigning the value “text” to the type attribute of an input tag and a name to its name attribute
