Input
The HTML <input> tag is used within a form to declare an input element.
It allows the user to enter data.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML input Tag</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action = "/cgi-bin/hello_get.cgi" method = "get">
First name:
<input type = "text" name = "first_name" value = "" maxlength = "100" />
<br />
Last name:
<input type = "text" name = "last_name" value = "" maxlength = "100" />
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
In the above example, there are two input fields which ask the user to enter their first and last names according to the labels specified. The submit <button type="submit"> is another type of input which is used to take the data entered by the user into the form and send it to some other location specified in the code.
