HTML Forms

I've pulled together various information on HTML forms, including the HTML, processing received data, manipulating with JavaScript, and more. The reference resides in the "HTML" category, but since it covers JavaScript and Perl as well, it's cross-referenced from those sections.

The information isn't comprehensive and it's not a tutorial, just stuff I've pulled together from various sources, plus some notes from my own experience of working with forms.
