Set where to send the form-data when a form is submitted in HTML?

HTML Web Development Front End Technology

When a form is submitted, the input control's processing file's URL is specified using the HTML <input> formaction property. The formaction attribute is invoked when the form has been submitted. After submitting the form, the form's data must be delivered to the server.

Following are the examples…

Example: Using method = “post”

In the following example we are submitting the form using method=”post”


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <FORM action="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm" method="post">
      <P>
         <LABEL for="firstname">First name: </LABEL>
         <INPUT type="text" id="firstname"><BR>
         <LABEL for="lastname">Last name: </LABEL>
         <INPUT type="text" id="lastname"><BR>
