The formmethod attribute is used to specify the HTTP method used to send form data. It overrides the method attribute of the <form> element for a specific submit button.
- Defines the method used for form submission, such as GET or POST.
- Works with <input type="submit"> and <input type="image">.
- Overrides the form’s default method attribute for that submission.
Syntax:
<input formmethod="get | post">
Attribute Values:
- GET: Sends form data through the URL, making it visible in the address bar. It is suitable for non-sensitive data and supports limited data size.
- POST: Sends form data inside the HTTP request body, so it is not visible in the URL. It supports larger data and is more secure than GET.
