HTML CSS examples for HTML Tag:input
The formenctype attribute specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server (only for forms with method="post")
The formenctype attribute overrides the enctype attribute of the <form> element.
The formenctype attribute is used with type="submit" and type="image".
Value | Description |
---|---|
application/x-www-form-urlencoded | Default. All characters are encoded before sent (spaces are converted to "+" symbols, and special characters are converted to ASCII HEX values) |
multipart/form-data | No characters are encoded |
text/plain | Spaces are converted to "+" symbols, but no special characters are encoded |
The following code shows how to Send form-data that is default encoded (the first submit button), and encoded as "multipart/form-data" (the second submit button):
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <form action="/action_page_binary.asp" method="post"> First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="submit" formenctype="multipart/form-data" value="Submit as Multipart/form-data"> </form><!--from ww w . j a va 2s . co m--> </body> </html>
