Form control (HTML)
In HTML, a form control refers to an HTML element that renders an interactive widget where we can input information to be ultimately sent as part of the form.
More details
A form control is sometimes also referred to as a form input, or a form field.
For example, a button is a form control, rendered using the <button> element. Similarly, a selection menu is another form control, rendered using the <select> element. There are precisely four elements that allow us to create form controls: <input>, <textarea>, <select>, and <button>.
