action of a form normally refers to the script which runs after submittting. I saw a code with form action="/" and I am unable to find to where it goes. Someone please explain me.

It sends the form data to the index page or the home page of that site where the form is. Here, [Try it yourself](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type) – Anjan Baradwaj Sep 26 '13 at 08:02

It sends the form to the index page of the site. (normally index.php, but often index.html, or main.html)

See it as an directory. The / just means that your application will search in the very first directory for an index.php file.
