submit is the page it goes to, the form processing page
action is where the form data is held
if action is GET then it's in the URL, if it is post, its in the body of the request to the form processing page
set it to GET and you see the parameters of the form in the URL on submit, you can switch it to post once you get the hang of things
both ASP, ASP.NET, CF and PHP provide ways for you to DUMP, the data sent from the form to the page that will process it. Look for the Request variables in whatever language you are using
 
Once I setup a form on my page using the HTML form code, how do I access the information on the "html_form_submit.asp" page? Or how do I setup the page that form goes to and inserts the information? Obviously I'm a little lost with this, so a good explanation would be great! Thanks!
 
in the form where you have the submit="" you have some name of a file or email there. If you have an email, it will just clump all the info together in a paragraph and send it to you. If you have an asp or php script, it is a script that you will have to design so that it will format and send the email to you. This is not HTML, so it works quite differently.
