ACTION
This attribute declares the URL (either relative or complete) of the script to be executed after
the submit button is selected.
METHOD
At the present time, this attribute can be either GET or PUT, and it describes the
way the data from your FORM will be encoded before being sent to the server for
processing. The GET method was the original method of sending data to WWW
servers. Its main limitation is the number of bytes of information it can handle. The
limit is 128K. One the other hand, when the GET method is used, the client
application will echo the entire URL, complete with search arguments. This is
handy if you want to replicate a complicated query sometime in the future. All you
have to do is copy the URL from your browser's window and save it for future
reference. The PUT method is much more commonly used. It can handle up to
1024K bytes of information in one query, and results in much cleaner but
incomplete, URLs. Last, if you use the GET method, the when your FORM is
submitted, then the FORMs contents will be encoded and passed to your script as
search arguments. If you use the POST method, then the contents of your FORM
will be encoded and passed on to your script as path arguments.
Examples:
<FORM ACTION="../scripts/hello-world-06.cgi" METHOD=GET> (More
FORMs elements go here.)
</FORM>
<FORM ACTION="../scripts/hello-world-06.cgi" METHOD=POST> (More
FORMs elements go here.)
</FORM>
Summary :
Last, if you use the GET method, the when your FORM is submitted, then the FORMs contents will be encoded and passed to your script as search arguments. If you use the POST method, then the contents of your FORM will be encoded and passed on to your script as path arguments.
