<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Course</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Adewumi</td>
<td>25</td>
<td>Web Design</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Mary</td>
<td>22</td>
<td>Cybersecurity</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table> → defines a table

<tr> → table row

Forms allow users to enter and submit information.

 
<form action="submit.php" method="post">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name"><br><br>

<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email"><br><br>

<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password"><br><br>

</form>

Key Elements:

checkbox → multiple selections

radio → single choice
