Actions

GET
GET is the default method and causes the fill-out form contents to be appended to the URL following a question mark. A cgi script will find the query string in the QUERY_STRING environment variable. Typically, the length of query strings is very limited.
POST
The contents are sent in a data block as part of the POST operation. The ACTION attribute (if any) is the URL to which the data block is POSTed. The cgi script will find the forms data on its standard input (stdin).

The encoding type, ENCTYPE specifies how the form content is to be encoded. The GET method always uses the default, application/x-www-form-urlencoded. POST may also use multipart/form-data.

See NCSA tutorial for details. Note that forms can use all normal HTML formatting, including tables.
