I think it has to be called a "box" for the benefit of non-HTML-aware 
authors. For one thing, that describes the appearance quite literally, 
especially if you allow versions with no associated button. And if you look 
at Google help you will find that they almost never refer to the form 
fields at all using a name such as form field or box. The only instance I 
could find in my limited hunting was:

I like the idea of being able to specify the action button or eliminate it 
entirely.
