What is a responsive HTML5 form?

HTML forms are a powerful tool for interacting with users; however, for historical and technical reasons, it is not always obvious how to utilize them to their full potential. Inside this guide, we’ll cover all aspects of HTML forms, from construction to styling, from data managing to custom widgets.

Responsive forms look great on all devices, from your cell phone and tablet to a desktop monitor.

Traditional forms do not change in design. This means that on devices, they can be quite tricky to read. A responsive form typically goes from a multi-column design to a single-column format since you fall down in display size to a cellular device. This makes studying and with a form on a mobile device a lot simpler.
