The <input> tag defines the start of an input field where the user can enter data. In XHTML the <input> tag must be properly closed.

The following attributes are supported:

Attribute	Value/s	Description
checked	checked	Indicates that the input element
		should be checked when it first
		loads.
		Note: Used with type="checkbox"
		and type="radio"

		type="radio"
type	checkbox	Indicates the type of the input
	hidden	element. The default value is "text"
