Methods
The IHTMLFormElement interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| appendItemSeparator | Allows element behaviors to append the item separator to the data sent to the server. |
| appendNameValuePair | Appends a name-value pair to the data submitted to the server. |
| item | Retrieves a form object or an object from an elements collection. |
| reset | Simulates a mouse click on a reset button for the calling form. |
| submit | Submits the form. |

Properties
The IHTMLFormElement interface has these properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
Sets or retrieves the URL to which the form content is sent for processing. |
|
Sets or retrieves the reading order of the object. |
|
Sets or retrieves the MIME encoding for the form. |
|
Sets or retrieves the number of objects in a collection. |
|
Sets or retrieves how to send the form data to the server. |
|
Sets or retrieves the name of the object. |

Remarks
When the form is programmed, all control-like elements are added as named items. In addition, these items are exposed through the item method.
When the focus is on a control in a form, pressing the ESC key once causes the value of the control to revert to the last value. Pressing ESC again resets the form.
If only one text box is on a form, pressing ENTER fires the HTMLFormElementEvents::onsubmit event. If the form has a submit button, the button appears with a dark border, indicating that pressing ENTER submits the form.
The form element is a block element.
This interface may also be referred to in code as IOmForm2.
