# Form The purpose of a form is to collect data from the user, via one or more form controls. A classic example is filling out an address in an order form. Forms can submit their data to the server for processing *without* requiring any client-side JavaScript (triggering a full page refresh/load). For further information we recommend the excellent (and free!) web course, [Learn Accessibility!](https://web.dev/learn/accessibility/forms/) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://ebay.gitbook.io/mindpatterns/structure/form.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
