What is the difference between onto and into?

Would anyone be so kind to explain the difference between onto and into?

Thanks.

Well, as far as I know you use the words "onto" and "into" in the same situations you use "on" and "in". The difference is in the verb! When you use a verb that has a sense of movement you use "onto" or "into".
