Hi.
A submit button is a built-in trigger for your browser to submit information included in the parent/containing form to the URL specified in the "action" attribute of that form. It submit (i.e. sends) this information using a HTTP POST or HTTP GET or the URL specified in the "action" attribute. The difference between a POST or GET is how the form data is sent along when the URL request. A POST sends the data in CGI variables/headers included as part of the HTTP message sent to the web server. The GET appends the form data to the URL requested, in the form of a query string.

It causes the browser to send the form data to the specified CGI script using the specified method (GET, etc.).
