Form submit action file for DW

Hello. What kind of file is it asking for?

Also, the little ? in the upper right of this box pictured only goes to nothing.

If it's a javascript file, can someone link me to a template?

Thanks a bunch!

    The <form> action attribute is usually linked to a form processing script written in a server-side language like php. It's what actually processes the submitted form into usable information and sends it to your email address.

    DW doesn't have one available, but your hosting company likely does. They're usually included in hosting packages along with the instructions for attaching them to your html form.

    Its asking you to provide a link to a form processing script.

    A form processing script can be written in several different languages so you first would need to establish what your web-hosting supports and if they have access to any form processing script that you could use.

    Typically a script could be written in .php, .asp or .even pl
