The Method Attribute using the GET method

The method attribute specifies the HTTP method to be used when submitting the form data.

The form-data can be sent as URL variables (with method="get") or as HTTP post transaction (with method="post").

The default HTTP method when submitting form data is GET.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>The method Attribute</h2>

<p>This form will be submitted using the GET method:</p>

<form method="get" action="/php/action_page.php" target="_blank">
  <label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
  <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="Bintu"><br><br>
  <label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
  <input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="Chaudhary"><br><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<p>After you submit, notice that the form values is visible in the address bar of the new browser tab.</p>

</body>
</html>

Notes on GET:

Appends the form data to the URL, in name/value pairs
NEVER use GET to send sensitive data! (the submitted form data is visible in the URL!)
The length of a URL is limited (2048 characters)
Useful for form submissions where a user wants to bookmark the result
GET is good for non-secure data, like query strings in Google
