HTML input Element

The HTML <input> element is a very versatile and important part of user interfacing on the web. By specifying the type of component the input tag is to render you can achieve a multitude of form controls to intake data from online users with. The input element does not have to be used within a form element, however that is the most common application of it. You can have stand alone input elements tied to Ajax data processing and do away with the need for a <form> tag to enable processing and validation of the data.
You may want to review the <form> element before you begin experimenting with the examples below.
If the "type" attribute is missing from the input element is defaults to rendering the "text" type of input.
