n The outline of a form is invisible in a browser; there is no border to turn on or off. You can,
however, use CSS to set a border or background color for the entire form.
n Forms and tables can be used together only if the form either completely encloses the table or is
completely enclosed inside the table. In other words, you can??™t have a form spanning part of a table.
n Forms can be inserted within AP elements, and multiple forms can be in multiple AP elements.
However, the AP element must completely enclose the form. As with forms spanning tables, you
can??™t have a form spanning two or more AP elements. (A workaround for this limitation is discussed
in Chapter 11.)

Declaring the Encoding Type (Enctype)
The
attribute enctype is helpful in formatting material returned via a form. It specifies how the
information is being sent, so the server software knows how to interpret the input.
By default, enctype is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which is responsible for
encoding the form response with ampersands between entries, equal signs linking form element names to
their values, spaces as plus signs, and all non-alphanumeric characters in hexadecimal format, such as %3F (a
question mark).
