HTML input Tag
HTML <input> tag specifies an input field where the user can enter data. It’s fundamental for web forms, enabling diverse input methods like text, password, checkboxes, radio buttons, file uploads, and more. The default value accepted by the <input> Tag is text.
An input field can be of various types depending upon the attribute type. The Input tag is an empty element that only contains attributes. For defining labels for the input element, < label> can be used.
Note: The <input> Tag supports the Global Attributes & the Event Attributes in HTML.
