I'm sorry, I've been experimenting with HTML for a while, memorized basically all common HTML tags, a few uncommon... But just recently, I started into javascripting. I read up on it in a book I got, but I don't understand how the submit function works, such as automatic posting in forums. I am working on a project that involves this sort of thing, and as soon as I understand this better and experiment, I may have more questions. Thanks in advance... I really seem to be having trouble... :)

Do you have a specific question? I don't really know how to answer. If you need to know how to submit a form pragmatically here is some code to do that:
Which I took from How To Submit a Form Using JavaScript which also has a better description, examples and explanation.
<form name="myform" action="handle-data.php">
Search: <input type='text' name='query'>
<A href="javascript: submitform()">Search</A>
</form>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function submitform()
{
document.myform.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

Thank you! Just one last question if it isn't too much trouble... What happens after somebody submits the form? Is it recorded into a database I can access when I am ready? I'm sorry if its too much trouble, but just a question.

The code above does not. You will need something like PHP to insert it into a database.

With the JavaScript above it just calls the function submitform() which executes:
which means it just presses the "submit" button on the website as if the user did. What happens after that depends on what it "action" is in the form header and what code gets executed.
document.myform.submit();
which means it just presses the "submit" button on the website as if the user did. What happens after that depends on what it "action" is in the form header and what code gets executed.
