# HTML & JavaScript

Sometimes you want to use JavaScript to submit the form and its possible with Web3Forms. If you use JavaScript, you can keep users on the same page instead of redirecting to other page. Also you will be able to code custom form validation or integration with other tools / services.

The initial steps are same as [Pure HTML](/getting-started/installation.md#step-01-get-access-key). Be sure to check to know how to create Access Key. Then use the following sample code to get started. Modify it according to your needs.

## HTML

```markup
<form method="POST" id="form">

    <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE">
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="New Submission from Web3Forms">
    <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" id="" style="display: none;">

    <!-- Custom Form Data -->
    <input type="email" name="email" required>
    <input type="text" name="name" required>
    <input type="text" name="phone" required>
    <textarea name="message" required></textarea>

    <button type="submit">Submit</button>

    <div id="result"></div>

</form>
```

## JavaScript

```javascript
const form = document.getElementById('form');
const result = document.getElementById('result');

form.addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  const formData = new FormData(form);
  const object = Object.fromEntries(formData);
  const json = JSON.stringify(object);
  result.innerHTML = "Please wait..."

    fetch('https://api.web3forms.com/submit', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Accept': 'application/json'
            },
            body: json
        })
        .then(async (response) => {
            let json = await response.json();
            if (response.status == 200) {
                result.innerHTML = json.message;
            } else {
                console.log(response);
                result.innerHTML = json.message;
            }
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.log(error);
            result.innerHTML = "Something went wrong!";
        })
        .then(function() {
            form.reset();
            setTimeout(() => {
                result.style.display = "none";
            }, 3000);
        });
});
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.web3forms.com/how-to-guides/html-and-javascript.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
