5,517 PointsAn html element is something that defines markup for a specific part of the page. For example, the '<p>' tags create a paragraph element or the '<img>' tags create an image element.
Therefore, our form can be created using the 'form' tags, like this:
<form></form>
An attribute is something we can add to those tags to further define the element. For example, if we want to add a class to a paragraph tag, we would do so like this:
<p class="nameofclass"></p>
So, if the question asks us to create a form element with an action and method attribute, we would do so like this:
<form action="index.html" method="post">
</form>
I hope this helps!
