AFAIK, all forms that submits data has that attribute. It just specifies the location where the user data is to be sent for further processing. I took that snippet from CE itself.

A simple example would be,

<form action="login.php" method="post">

This is send the data of login form to login.php.

Is this what you're asking?

Took that from CE, actually from this same page itself. 😁

Its certainly the url to some module specific to the CMS of this forum. Not a feature of html. Sorry, never thought it would create confusion like that. I now see where you're coming from.

GET or POST is defined as part of HTTP request header. You should read about TCP/IP programming if you need more details.
