Application Form in HTML — Working Code Template

<form action="https://splitforms.com/api/submit"
      method="POST"

      <input name="resume" type="file" accept=".pdf,.doc,.docx" />

      <input name="supporting_doc" type="file" accept=".pdf,.doc,.docx" />

Application forms share a structure across use cases — personal info, application body, supporting documents. The form above is generalized: drop in your specific 'apply for X' question set, customize the select options, and ship. Common variants: club/society membership, program enrollment, grant applications, scholarship applications, beta access waitlists.

Group related fields in `<fieldset>` elements with `<legend>` labels. This is the semantic way to break a long form into sections; screen readers announce the legend when the user focuses any field inside. Bonus: the visual grouping that fieldsets provide (default browser styling adds a border) helps users navigate longer forms.

File uploads require `enctype="multipart/form-data"` on the form (the most-forgotten step). splitforms accepts attachments up to 10 MB per file, 5 files per submission, on every plan including free. Attachments are emailed to you AND stored in the dashboard AND included as signed URLs in webhooks.

For high-volume applications (university programs, large grant applications), wire a webhook from splitforms to your application management system. The structured fields (applying_for, why_fit) become JSON; the files become signed URLs. Most ATS systems accept this shape directly.

Personal info, body, supporting docs — three fieldsets, one form.
