A form is submitted with the `GET` method. Where does the field data go?

1Into the HTTP request body, as with file uploads
2Into browser cookies, where the server reads them
✓Correct answer: Into the URL query string (?name=value&...)

Explanation

With method="get" the data is encoded into the query string, so it's visible in the address bar and saved in history and logs - not suitable for passwords. POST sends data in the request body. Without JavaScript, a form is submitted via the action (URL) and method attributes of <form>.
