Philip creates a Web form in HTNL5, but the data will not process. He has the method attribute included in the <form> element. What is missing?

Question

Options

• AThe type attribute of the <form> element
• BThe type attribute of the <input'element
• CThe act/on attribute of the <form> element
• DThe act/on attribute of the <input'element

• A
  5% (2)
• C
  93% (41)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because the action attribute tells the form where to send the data - without it, the browser has no destination URL to submit the form to, so processing never occurs. Option A is wrong because <form> has no meaningful type attribute. Option B is partially relevant (inputs do use type), but a missing input type won't prevent the entire form from submitting - it just affects how that field behaves. Option D is wrong because action is not an attribute of <input> at all; it belongs exclusively to <form>.

Memory tip: Think of method as how the data travels (GET/POST) and action as where it goes - you need both, like addressing an envelope (action) and choosing how to mail it (method).
