<label>First Name:</label>
<div>
<input type="text"/>
<input type="button" value="submit"/>
</div>
</form>

We have created a form with fisrt name input field and submit button. So, a form must have input fields to collect users' information then the submit or send button for the user to submit the form when clicked.
Let us create form with more than one fields, copy and paste below code.
<form>
<label>First Name:</label>
<div>
<input type="text"/>
</div>
<label>Last Name:</label>
<div>
<input type="text"/>
</div>
<button type="submit">submit</button>
</form>
So, we should have the following results.
We created a form with two fields, first and last name input fields that a user can fill and then click submit button to send the form to the receiver. Bear in mind that the forms cannot be send to the receiver with just html only, but we must intergrate the form with a programming language like php.
