Go ahead and remove `VALUE="44 Cherry St"`.

    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="ADDRESS" SIZE=30>
    </FORM>

If we want, we can specify how many characters a user can input.
Just go ahead and try to input more than 10 characters!

    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="ADDRESS" SIZE=30 MAXLENGTH=10>
    </FORM>

I suppose this feature might come in handy now and again, but unless you think someone's going to send the whole King James Bible down the pike at you, I wouldn't worry about it.

Very similar to the `TYPE=TEXT` is the `TYPE=PASSWORD`. It is exactly the same, except it displays *** instead of the actual input. The browser will send you the input, it just won't display it.

    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE="password">
    </FORM>

Remember that each `<INPUT>` must have a `NAME`.

    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="USERPASS">
    </FORM>

`SIZE`, `VALUE`, and `MAXLENGTH` attributes work here also. By the way, a `<TAG>` tells the browser to do something. An `ATTRIBUTE` goes inside the `<TAG>` and tells the browser how to do it.
