Form Object
By: aathishankaran
One of the principal uses of JavaScript is providing a means to interact with the user on the client side. Most of the time, this interaction with the user happens through an HTML form. As a result, the JavaScript form object is an important object within the JavaScript object model. When you work with the form object, you do not do that much with a form object in and of itself. Rather, the form object provides a container by which you can retrieve data from the user. In HTML, the form object is defined as
SYNTAX
