Transfer data from webpage form to database

You should note that the action attribute of a form must contain the URL 
to which the form variables will be POSTed.

If you are writing a python CGI script, then action="default.asp" is 
almost certainly wrong, unless you have called your python script 
"default.asp".

The URL for your python script is the value that should go in the action 
attribute, like so

<form action="http://mydomain.com/cgi-bin/my_cgi_script.py" method="post">

or you could leave out the server name bit.

<form action="/cgi-bin/my_cgi_script.py" method="post">
