See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html
Inputs such as text boxes, check boxes, radio, submit button... need to
be in a FORM element to send the data to some script, else they do nothing.
Basic example
<form action="RequiredReceivingScript.cgi" method="post">
<fieldset> <!-- some block element P or DIV would also do -->
<legend>Log In</legend>
<label for="uid">Your User Name:</label>
<input name="uid" id="uid" type="text" size="10">
<label for="pwd">Password:</label>
<input name="pwd" id="pwd" type="password" size="10">
<input type="submit" value="Log In">
</fieldset>
</form>
Upon click the submit button the script "RequiredReceivingScript.cgi"
would receive two name|value pairs for "uid" and "pwd".

Take care,
Jonathan
