What attribute should be set with element?
Action and method attribute
What is method attribute?
The method attribute describes how the data will be set. The method attribute can be set to post or get. The post value for the method attribute should be used most of the time to protect the data that is being sent, because the get value will send the data through the URL with name=value pairs of data. Therefore, if the data is being sent through the URL then the data is visible to the user if they know what to look for in the URL. Furthermore data sent using the post method is encrypted if the web server hosting the web application has an SSL certificate installed.
What is an action attribute?
The action attribute is used to specify the file that the data will be sent to. Forms can send the information to itself, meaning that the data in the form elements will be sent back to itself and will be collected by the same page that posted it through JavaScript or server-side processing like ASP.NET or PHP. If the action attribute is not set then the form will automatically post the data to itself.
