The Form's Action Attribute and the Submit Button

When the user clicks on the "Submit" button, the content of the form is sent to the server. The form's action attribute defines the name of the file to send the content to. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input.

<form name="input" action="html_form_submit.asp" method="get">
Username:
<input type="text" name="user">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
