This is not HTML anymore.

    The ACTION goes with the FORM.

    The METHOD goes with the FORM.

    The FORM contains INPUT elements [and optionally other HTML],

    The INPUT elements contained by the FORM may have one of several [defined]
    TYPE values.

    The INPUT element of TYPE "submit" triggers the FORM ACTION using the
    METHOD defined for the ACTION.

Studying the HTML DOM

http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_reference.asp

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) defines the HTML Document Object Module (DOM) as a standard. The DOM is used as a standardized way to programmatically access the content of HTML [and XML – we're only concerned with the HTML, here] documents.

Languages commonly used to access and modify the content of a DOM document instance [an instance of a DOM-conformant document] are Java and Javascript.

In this case, we are interested in accessing and modifying the content (data and meta-data) of an HTML document using Javascript to manipulate HTML elements using DOM-defined methods.
