You might check out the basics about HTML forms first. The 'action' 
parameter is an URL and *not* some Python-like function call. You specify 
the destination URL inside the action attribute and pass the parameters as 
*hidden* form parameters to the URL - either using method GET or POST.

You'll find more on forms in any HTML tutorial. Start from here:
