What Is an INPUT Tag/Element?
An "input" element is an inline element that can used inside a "form"
element to define an input field. Here are basic rules about an "input" elements:
- An "input" element is an inline element. It can not be used directly inside a "form"
element. It can only be used inside a block sub-element of a "form" element.
- An "input" element is an empty content element.
- An "input" element defines an input field which may or may not be visible in a browser.
- An "input" element has an attribute called "type" that allows you to define
the type of input field, like a text input, a checkbox, or a radio button.

Your name: <input/><br/>

</body>

and a button as shown below:
