Action

The action attribute is a link to a server-side script (i.e. a file on another computer, not the users computer). Typically this file is code file (php, asp.net, python, jsp, etc) on a server that will do ‘something’ with the user data before returning information back to the browser. Note: we talk about this in MART 461 Web Server Technologies

NOTE: The value of the action attribute will always be an URL.
