my form does not work

[constantinesavva]

I have copied and pasted a form (generated by my srver-based responder) to my website page. Nevertheless, the form does not work when I upload the page to the server (I only see the code). I have no idea why that happens as I am not a programmer.
The form code is:

<!-- Start form -->
<form name="mailform" method="post" action="http://mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/maillist/register.cgi">
<table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td align="right" width="50%"><b>Name:</b></td>
<td width="50%">
<input type="text" name="name" size="25" maxlength="40">
<font color="red">*</font>
<input type="hidden" name="account" value="5">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" width="50%"><b>Email:</b></td>
<td width="50%">
<input type="text" name="email" size="25" maxlength="40">
<font color="red">*</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2"> <input type="submit" value="Subscribe"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<!-- End form -->

Any explanations please what I am doing wrong?

Are you getting any alert boxes when clicking on the Submit button? If so, give the exact text of the error message. Does the page not do anything at all when you click the submit? Is the action url correct?
