Is it necessarily required that the action="abc.php" in FORM tag must have a PHP, JSP, ASP file? Can’t simple HTML code display the data submitted in the FORM?

In other words,

FILE: abc.html

<form method="post" action="xyz.html">
     <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="Enter your name here" />
</form>

OR 

<form method="get" action="xyz.html">
         <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="Enter your name here" />
</form>

Now in file xyz.html, can I display the name entered in abc.html using only HTML code?

    HTML by itself can’t access submitted POST/GET data. You need a server side language (PHP, python, ruby, .NET, …) to put those values into HTML.

    That being said, you can post to a HTML page, you just won’t be able to do anything with it.

    You could use JavaScript to access GET variables, but not POST.
