Edit a form

Question

I had a form created for me in DW and now I want to change the action setting. How do I "open" it to make changes?
I have instruction books that tell me how to create a form but nothing on how to modify it. I want to change where the emial is sent when you click on the "submit" button.
Does any one know the answer to this and can describe in in simple terms?

Answer 1

Open the file, click on Code View, look for
<form action="The script to process the form is here" method="post">
Not sure if that is really the question you are asking, but that is the one you asked.

Below is a sample form in a table, you can experiment with this if you like.
<form action="result.php" method="post">
<table>
            <tr>
              <td><label>First Name</label></td>
              <td><input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" size="18" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td><label>Last Name</label></td>
              <td><input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" size="18" /></td>
              <td><input type="radio" name="radio" id="mr" value="mr" /></td>
              <td><label for="mr">Mr.</label>
