The formenctype attribute specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server (only for forms with method="post")
The formenctype attribute overrides the enctype attribute of the <form> element.
Note: The formenctype attribute is used with type="submit" and type="image".
The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.
