Property "Method" <method>

The method property is used to specify the way the form is transmitted to the server.

Forms can be submitted using two methods:

Get

The data is appended to the URL of the page. The information sent is visible in the address line of the browser. This method is not convenient for update transactions and mostly used to request information from server.

Post

The whole data except the target address is contained in HTTP body and therefore not visible to the user. Unlike Get method, this method allows sending big amount of data and mostly used for update transactions.
