// THE POINT THIS WEEK
Dropdowns. File inputs and textareas. Assembling a complete labeled form.
// TALKING POINTS
Finishing a form
- select and option build dropdowns; textarea takes paragraphs
- required, placeholder, and value shape the conversation before JS exists
- A complete form reads like a good interview: clear questions, easy answers
Forms meet the query string
- Every named input becomes name=value in the submitted URL
- This is week 5's URL anatomy, now writing itself
- Next semester JavaScript will read these inputs live, without submitting at all
