Need some advice with Form action

**Xer0bot** · 12-17-2011 01:12 PM

Hi there,

I need help grasping this,

I'm currently learning html and I've come to a point in a tutorial where the below code is involved:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="#">
<select name="favorite">
<option value="HTML">HTML</option>
<option value="CSS">CSS</option>
<option value="Javascript">Javascript</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

The part that I don't understand is that form action equals hash ? As far as I know form action should equal a link and then the selected option value could then be stored in the link destination ?

My question here is what does it mean when form action is equal to hash ?

The form will just submit to itself.
Add a submit button, chose an option and submit the form. Your choice can be see in the page url.
