Answer 2

GET and POST are values for the "method" attribute of html form tag. It specifies how are data transferred from the form. GET shows variable values in the URL, while POST doesn't. You should never use GET for sending passwords or any other sensitive data. Disadventage of POST is, that the page cannot be bookmarked in your broswer.

Answer 3

In JavaScript you can use this.

var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
body = body[0];
console.log(body.innerHTML);

Answer 4

You don't need to specify form's method when using JavaScript. You can get content of the input field using it's id as selector and get value of it's "value" variable.

Answer 5

Using php you can get the data using this:

<form method=POST>
<input type=text name="data" action=scriptCointainingPhpCodeBelow.php>
</form>
<?php
echo $_POST['data'];
?>
