Problem with form action=../index

[Robert]

I have a page in a folder named signup. I want to use a submit button to
return to index.html

This code results in an incorrect address error when the button is clicked:

<form method="POST" action="../index.html">
<p align="center"><input type="submit" value="Return"></p></form>

However, if I use a hyperlink instead of the button, it works fine:

<p><a href="../index.html">Return</a></p>

Why does the form fail whereas the hyperlink works?

Many thanks, Robert

Because the link breaks the Submit button.

Simply make index.html the custom confirmation page in Form Properties.

Steve, would you please explain why the link breaks the submit button. Also,
I am not using bots in this case, only html code. How can I get around this
with using only code?

Thanks, Robert

I'm confused.

If you're not using the web bot, what is the form supposed to post / submit to??
