Some of things to notice with these 2 FORMS:

  • The Submit button & the Press Me button both do the same thing - submit the form's "results" to the FORM's ACTION.
  • What happens in the Address/Location Area of the browser when you submit a form?
    FORM1 => URL?
    FORM2 => URL?Name=
  • In FORM1 the text field has no name. If you put a value in FORM1's text field and then Submit the form what happens?
    URL?
  • In FORM2 the text field has a name. If you put a value in FORM2's text field and then Submit the form what happens?
    URL?Name=Value
