I recently started to create some web based forms for people to submit
information to a database via a cgi and I've done it in two different ways:
1. Creating a form and inserting a table i.e. <form><table> and by
2. Creating a table without using a form.
In both cases, I am able to post data without a problem. The only
difference that I was able to see is that using a form helps me to organize
and keep my labels and fields aligned on the table. Without the form, I
noticed that the first row would get out of alignment.
Anyway, what is the purpose of forms (<form>)? Are there benefits to what
gets posted to the webserver, i.e. only the fields within the form?
Thank you,
Fernie
