HTML Form Controls

Control Name Description
Buttons There are three types of buttons: Submit, Reset, Push
Checkboxes on/off switches that may be toggled by the user. Several
checkboxes in a form may share the same control name.
Radio Buttons Radio buttons are like checkboxes except that when several
share the same control name, they are mutually exclusive:
when one is switched "on", all others with the same name are
switched "off".
Menus Menus offer users options from which to choose
Text Input Two types of controls that allow users to input text.
By using a single-line and multi-line input
File Select This control type allows the user to select files so that
their contents may be submitted with a form.
Hidden Authors may create controls that are not rendered but whose values
are submitted with a form. Authors generally use this control type
to store information between client/server exchanges that would
otherwise be lost
