Description

The Forms Module contains the elements necessary to create XHTML forms, allowing input of user data and file upload.

Although not detailed here, the Basic Forms Module allows only for simple forms and declares only the elements: form, label, input ( but not input type="button", input type="file" or input type="image" ), textarea, select and option. Also, the Basic Forms Module declares only a subset of the attributes declared by the full Forms Module on these elements. (For more information, see *W3C XHTML 1.1 Basic Forms Module - and no, I don't know why they have declared a src attribute on the input element in the Basic Forms Module even though they don't allow type to be "image".)
The full Forms Module is automatically selected in the standard XHTML 1.1 DTD.
