Can I have two or more actions in the same form?

✍: FYIcenter

No. A form must have exactly one action. However, the server-side (e.g., CGI) program that processes your form submissions can perform any number of tasks (e.g., updating a database, sending email, logging a transaction) in response to a single form submission.

Can I use percentage values for the WIDTH attributes of TD tags?
How can I avoid using the whole URL? Yes. It should be noted that Netscape and Microsoft's browsers interpret percentage values for <TD WIDTH=...> differently.

Submitting Forms by Hitting ENTER

Memorizing HTML Tags
Do I have to memorize a bunch of HTML tags? Yes. Most programs that help you write HTML code already know most tags, and create them when you press a button. But you must understand what a tag is, and how it works. That way you can correct errors in your page more easily. 2007-03-03, 6324👍, 0💬

Set UI Focus on the First Field of a Form
How do I set the focus to the first form field? You cannot do this with HTML.

URL with or whithout Domain Names

Forms and Pull-Down Navigatin Menus
How can I use forms for pull-down navigation menus? There is no way to do this in HTML only; something else must process the form.
