work. Is there anything else I need to do?"

Yes, first of all, check your HTML and make sure you didn't miss
anything (such as a closing tag), next, you need to create a Form
Handler.
Form Handlers are programs/scripts that allow the server to process
input that comes from Forms. Such programs can be written in CGI,
ASP, Perl, etc.
There are many of such programs/scripts available on the web. All
you have to do is copy/download one of them and upload it to your
server. Once you do this, you have to specify in your HTML the name
and path where the form handler is found*. Like this (the name and
path of the form handler is underlined):
<form
method="post"
action="/cgi/file.asp"
name="Input">
*Form Handlers must be uploaded into the CGI directory in order
to work.
