The ability to interact with, and obtain information from web site visitors, is a central theme behind the JavaScript language. No JavaScript book would be complete, therefore, without exploring how to handle Graphical User Interface Componments (GUI) objects such as buttons, text input fields, checkboxes, radio boxes and selections, together with the Form object which brings them all together.

The JavaScript Form object serves a number purposes. It acts a container for all of the GUI objects that make up a form. It also acts as the mechansism for grouping together the information provided by the user and sending it back to the server for processing.
