I do not understand the purpose of the form tag in html.
I can easily just use any input types perfectly without using the form tag. It almost seems redundant to wrap it around inputs.
Additionally, if I am using ajax to call a server-side page, I can simply use jQuery for that. The only exception is that I noticed that you have to wrap an upload script around a form tag for some reason.
So why are forms still so widely used for simple things like text inputs? It seems like a very archaic and unnecessary thing to do.
I just don't see the benefit or need for it. Maybe I'm missing something.
