  is visible to everyone and has limits on the
  amount of information to send.
• When the user clicks the "Submit" button, the URL
  sent to the server could look something like
  this

ltform actionform.php" method"get"gtName ltinput type"text" name"name" /gtAge ltinput type"text" name"age" /gtltinput type"submit" /gtlt/formgt
