Input value isn’t sent when submitting form

• html
• input
• form
• flask

When trying to access submitted form data, request.form (in Flask, applies to any framework though) will not contain the value of one of the inputs.

An input needs a name attribute or the browser will not send its value when submitting the form.

<input type="text" name="salad"/>

request.form['salad']

• Post values from an HTML form and access them in a Flask view
