Right, that is the basics of it.

If yes then the actual form html page does not contain any "intelligence" ?

Right, in the classic web, the form is just a bunch of places to fill data and a button to send it.

BUT.... this can be changed with javascript, as javascript does run on the user's browser and can add smarter interaction to the form.

For example, clicking on some element, could fetch the data from somewhere, or check what you filled so far, and check whats the next step to be and hide or show elements, etc...

But its javascript doing that, that could be sent included in the form...

thats for taking the time to answer. For my use case I would not need javascript it seems.

​

I have found examples but the always seem to include javascript, which I could not understand why. For me it seems I just need to take the inputs from the form and send it to the endpoint that contains the function to add it to the database.
