How to create a form in ArcGIS API for JavaScript?


I am using the Javascript API (ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.40). But I can't find a way how I can add a form that allows me to enter Latitude and Longitude where I mark the point on the map. The example I am using is "Add graphics to a map". URL: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jssamples/graphics_add.html

Code from Arcgis page:

    I will though recommend you to use the newest version of the library. At this point I believe the only reason to do any development in 3.x version is to support already build applications or sites.
