The most common form object is the ''Text'' object. The Text object places a single line text field into the form into which the user can type information.
* '''type="BUTTON"''' - The basic button which performs no action by default unless an event handler is assigned to it.
* '''type="SUBMIT"''' - The submit button. When pressed this button causes the data in the Form to be sent to the server using the settings defined in the enclosing <Form> tag. If the ''onsubmit'' attribuite attribute on the enclosing ''<form>'' tag has been specified this will be executed before the form data is submitted (useful for JavaScript form data validation).
* '''type="RESET"''' - The reset button. When pressed causes the fields in the Form to be either cleared, or reset to the defaultValue (if one has been specified).

If the ''size'' attrtibute attribute is specified and set to a value greater than 1 then a scrolled list, instead of a drop down list, will be displayed with a scrollbar for scrolling through the list of options. For example:
<pre>
Now that we have provided a basic overview of how HTML forms are constructed we can look at how to submit the data to a PHP script on the server and process that data. This is covered in the chapter entitled [[PHP and HTML Forms]].
