Note: Nesting Forms Are Supported
The microbrowser supports both the GET and POST methods for submitting forms. Nesting forms
within tables is supported. However, nesting of one form tag within another is not supported and can
lead to unexpected results.
<form>
Use the <form> tag to create a form for user input. A form can contain text fields, check boxes, radio
buttons, etc. Forms are used to pass user data to a specified URL.
The <form> tag supports the attributes listed in the following table.
