md` ### Form Elements - [\`

\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form) marks the bounds of a form for text entry - [\`\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input) can create a wide variety of input types - Specify the type of input with the \`type=\` attribute. Valid values include \`"radio"\`, \`"text"\`, \`"checkbox"\`, \`"password"\`, \`"file"\`, and \`"date"\`. - [\`

\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/textarea) creates a multi-line text input widget (whereas an \`<input type="text" />\` input widget is typically single-line and inline)
- [\`<label />\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/labels) creates a label for an input element
  - Specify which element this label is for by setting the \`for=\` attribute to be the same as the \`id=\` attribute of the \`<input />\` element the label is for.
- [\`<select />\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select) creates a dropdown selection widget
- [\`<datalist />\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/datalist) is like \`<select />\` except it enables free text entry - the options are "suggestions"
- [\`<optgroup />\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/optgroup) creates a "category" of options for dropdown selection widgets (and should be a direct child of \`<select />\`)
- [\`<option />\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/option) creates an option for dropdown selection widgets (and should be a direct child of either \`<select />\`, \`<datalist />\`, or \`<optgroup />\`)
- [\`<button />\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button) creates a clickable button. Unlike \`<a />\` elements, the button is expected to perform an action on the page (rather than just navigating to a new page)
  - On forms, you might set the \`type=\` attribute to \`"submit"\` to specify that the button submits the form (or to \`"reset"\` to say that it should reset the form)
