POST

POST is one of two choices of attributes for the tag METHOD. It determines how HTML fill-out forms <INPUT> ... </INPUT> are transferred back to the server. With POST, each element of a form is sent as a single element; with GET the elements are appended to the URL as a single string that can exceed the allowable string length.
