LEVEL 7 - question about forms!!!

this is simple :) when no action is defined it is calling the same url again with the specified method, so in this example it sends a POST-Request to the level-page, which evaluates the posted data on the server (in PHP f.e.)

thank you for taking the time to answer my question. <3 :D

is there an article or a site that describes this in a bit more detail?

you see, i just kind of started, so I have the basics, but apparently not for this site (which is good)….

If you look up information on the form tag and specifically the relevant attributes, proper resources should mention the default values. That said, I just tried this and didn’t find it immediately. If in doubt, check the specification; it should always be in there.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/Sending_and_retrieving_form_data
https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/sec-forms.html#form-submission-algorithm

I guess it is a good example of how to do thorough research. Just superficially looking up info might not give you all that you need. ;)

The values in the level 2 page have no real meaning other than allowing you to find the solution. It is the script on the server (which you cannot see) that has these same values stored somewhere to compare your submission with.

B.t.w., please remove the spoilers from your post (two challenges spoiled!). :)

thanks!!

spoliers removed.

THANKS!!

If you’re still stuck, think to read the hint again. (and again).
