An HTML form is probably not what you want to use in a Cordova application because:
- There is no "webserver" to locally post to to handle the post request, so it doesn't make much sense to post to a local URL.
- If you're posting to an external URL, then you're leaving your cordova application.
If you are posting to an external URL, that URL needs to be trusted in your allow list.
If you're integrating with an external server that uses forms, you can still use the JS Form API to submit the form without leaving the page.
