I recently started HTML and made my first Website. I made bunch of lines of codes, and the last line is: <input type="submit" name="register" value="Register" action="Registered.html">. I wanted to this submit button named as "Register" to get me to the my "Registered.html" file but something isn't right. The button shows up, and it's valued as "Register" but `action="Registered.html" doesn't work. I hope you understand me, if you can, fix this for me.

The form element takes the action attribute, not the input:
<form action="Registered.html">
<input type="submit" name="register" value="Register">
</form>

<form action="/action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
notice the action is at the form..

In general form elements are used to send data to a server. It wraps around the elements which specifies the data, input or button elements, for instance. If you add a name and a value attribute to your input and button elements, you will send this name-value-pair to your server.
If you don’t need to send any (additional) data to your server, just use anchor elements:
<a href="Registered.html">Register</a>

<form>
<input type="submit" formaction="Registered.html" value="Register">
</form>
The formaction attribute of the input tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.
action="Registrered.html"is something you should put on a<form>. Add an<a>element to your button.
