In the previous sections of this XHTML MP tutorial, we have mentioned about how to use selection lists and various input elements to obtain data from a user in XHTML MP. However, the user data has no use if it is not posted to the server for further processing. To post data to the server in XHTML MP, you need the <form></form> tags and a submit button. Let’s first have a look at the following XHTML MP example. Then we will go into the details.
