    The method attribute specifies the HTTP method to be used when submitting the form data.

    The form-data can be sent as URL variables (with method="get") or as HTTP post transaction (with method="post").

    The default HTTP method when submitting form data is GET. 

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>

    <h2>The method Attribute</h2>

    <p>This form will be submitted using the GET method:</p>

    <form method="get" action="/php/action_page.php" target="_blank">
      <label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
      <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="Bintu"><br><br>
      <label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
      <input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="Chaudhary"><br><br>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form> 

    <p>After you submit, notice that the form values is visible in the address bar of the new browser tab.</p>

    </body>
    </html>

    Notes on GET:

    • Appends the form data to the URL, in name/value pairs
    • NEVER use GET to send sensitive data! (the submitted form data is visible in the URL!)
    • The length of a URL is limited (2048 characters)
    • Useful for form submissions where a user wants to bookmark the result
    • GET is good for non-secure data, like query strings in Google
