283 PointsWhen a user fills out a form I create with HTML, will i get his form?
I see that i can create a nice form using html code.
The question is, if a user fills that baby out, and sends it my way, how do i know that i will get it? Where will the form be sent to? Do i need to use back-end server stuff to receive a user-submitted form?
Another way of asking this question is-- is just creating a form with HTML enough?
