form submission

Sending entered information

Form submission is the act of sending data entered into a web form to a server for processing.

Users fill out fields—names, addresses, payment details—then click a button to submit.

The term covers both the user action and the technical process: The form submission failed because of a network error.

In broader contexts, it can mean any formal submission of a completed form, digital or paper.
