The basic set of interface widgets is
defined using the <INPUT> tag.
There are several <INPUT> types
offering different GUI options. Each of them has its own set of
specialized attributes that define its operation.
However, all <INPUT> tags share two
common attributes: TYPE and NAME
The TYPE attribute defines what type of
interface widget the <INPUT> tag will define.
The NAME attribute specifies the variable
name that the browser should use for this widget when it prepares
the name/value pairs in the HTTP request.
Thus, the following generic input tag would
create a text field interface widget (we will talk more about the
text field widget in just a bit) and assign it to the name
"fname"
<INPUT TYPE = "TEXT" NAME = "fname">
When the user enters data into the input
widget, that data will be paired with the name as the VALUE portion
of a name/value pair and be encoded for the HTTP request.
