Action Attribute

The Action Attribute

The action attribute defines the action to be performed when the form is submitted.

Usually, the form data is sent to a file on the server when the user clicks on the submit button.

In the example below, the form data is sent to a file called "action_page.php". This file contains a server-side script that handles the form data:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>HTML Forms</h2>

<form method="get" action="/php/action_page.php">
  <label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
  <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="Bintu"><br><br>
  <label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
  <input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="Chaudhary"><br><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form> 

<p>If you click the "Submit" button, the form-data will be sent to a page called "/action_page.php".</p>

</body>
</html>

Live Demo & Try it yourself!

Tip: If the action attribute is omitted, the action is set to the current page.
