What is the difference between enctype and formenctype in HTML5?

Time:01-03

I was jsust wondering what the difference between the attributes enctype and formenctype in the HTML Living Standard (a.ka. the new HTML5 spec)? I've been reading the HTML Standard for Developers, but still can't seem to see any real distinction between the two.

CodePudding user response:

The enctype attribute appears on <form> elements and sets the default encoding type for that form.

The formenctype attribute appears on submit buttons (e.g. <button> elements) and overrides the encoding for the form when that submit button is used to trigger form submission.
