submit form data concept

[Matt]

When people say submit the form data, does it mean the form data are
submitted to web browser using either HTTP GET or POST method, and then it
will redirect to another page.

For example, this is page1.asp

<form action="page2.asp" method="post">

means it will submit the page1.asp form data to the web server, and then
redirect from page1.aspxto page2.asp?

please clarify. thanks!!

<form action="page2.asp" method="post">

means it will submit the page1.asp form data to the web server, and then
redirect from page1.aspxto page2.asp?

No, it means that the form is processed by the script page2.asp.

For example, this is page1.asp

<form action="page2.asp" method="post">

means it will submit the page1.asp form data to the web server, and then
redirect from page1.aspxto page2.asp?

It means that the form data will be submitted using the POST method to
page2.asp.
