A: The form method attribute refers to the type of HTTP request method used to submit the form contents to the Web server. The get value tells the Web browser to submit the form using the HTTP GET method, it is used in combination with the action attribute which specifies the target URL for the form submission.

A get method submission takes each of the form input names and their values and appends these to the action URL in what is called a query part or query string. A question mark is added to the end of the action URL followed by the pairs of form input names and values. These name-value pairs are also known as parameters. Each parameter is separated from the next by an ampersand character, &, and the names and values are separated by an equals character.
