from google. post is usually the go to thats all i know lol What is form post method?

<form method=”POST”> The method attribute of the form element tells the web browser how to send form data to a server. Specifying a value of POST means the browser will send the data to the web server to be processed

usually people use post method for forms thats all i know... this is honestly irrelevant to the topic though cuz this course is just about css selection.... some of the things they are teaching in this lesson i see too can be written in way simpler code this is just to show examples... the method for post has something to do with sending the info to php or other server side languages i believe. not sure tho
