How To Use APEX:FORM In Visualforce Page?

<apex:form>:-

It helps to create the page as a form. This tag need to be included in the page to accept input from the users. It's a best practice to have only one < apex:form > tag in a page instead of including it many times

This tag supports following attributes:

Attribute	Description
accept	The text to display as a tooltip when the user's mouse pointer hovers over this component.
acceptcharset	A comma-separated list of character encodings that a server processing this form can handle. If not specified, this value defaults to "UNKNOWN".
dir	The direction in which the generated HTML component should be read. Possible values include "RTL" (right to left) or "LTR" (left to right).
enctype	The content type used to submit the form to the server. If not specified, this value defaults to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
forceSSL	The form will be submitted using SSL, regardless of whether the page itself was served with SSL. The default is false. If the value is false, the form will be submitted using the same protocol as the page. If forceSSL is set to true, when the form is submitted, the page returned will use SSL.
id	An identifier that allows the form component to be referenced by other components in the page.
onclick	The JavaScript invoked if the onclick event occurs that is, if the user clicks the form.

prependId	A Boolean value that specifies whether or not this form should prepend its ID to the IDs of its child components during the clientid generation process. If not specified, the value defaults to true.
rendered	A Boolean value that specifies whether the component is rendered on the page. If not specified, this value defaults to true.
