I've been working through the Django Book and ran into trouble understanding forms.
The following confuses me:
<html> <head> <title>Search</title> </head> <body> <form action="/search/" method="get"> <input type="text" name="q"> <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form> </body> </html>
I understand that 'action' dictates which URL to go to and 'name' determines how to distinguish the HTTP response that comes in but what does 'value' do? When would I need to access 'value' or how?
