FORMS & The CGI scripts - Can I call the methods myself?
In the HTML
<form action="somescript" method="get">
what actually happens? Can I initiate this call manually from html/javascript or is this the only means to gain access to it?

What do you mean by calling the method yourself?
When the user press the submit button, all the form values will be submitted to the script whose location is specified at the action attribute in the form tag. You can imitate the clicking of the submit button by using javascript.
Does this explains your question?
Later.
