<FORM ACTION="...">

<FORM ...>

Usage Recommendation
Use it.

ACTION : URL of the CGI program METHOD : how to transfer the data to the CGI NAME : name of this form ENCTYPE : what type of form this is

TARGET : what frames to put the results in onSubmit : script to run before the form is submitted onReset : script to run before the form is reset

<FORM ...> indicates the beginning of a form. All other form tags go inside <FORM ...> . In its simplest use, <FORM ...> can be used without any attributes:

this code	produces this
<FORM> name: <INPUT><BR> email: <INPUT> </FORM>	name: email:

Most forms require either the ACTION or NAME attributes to do anything meaningful. (The <FORM ...> attribute is always required, but not necessarily used in every situation.) For example, to make this form work, we'll add the <FORM ACTION="..."> attribute, which indicates the CGI program to send the form data to. We'll also use NAME in the <INPUT ...> tags, and add a Submit button :

this code	produces this
<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/html/mycgi.pl"> name: <INPUT NAME=realname><BR> email: <INPUT NAME=email><BR> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT> </FORM>	name: email:

NAME is useful when you want to use scripting
