HTML Code :

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- HTML5 document type declaration -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Declares document character encoding -->
<title>How to Specify where to send the form-data when a form is submitted.</title><!-- Sets the title of the webpage -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<form action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/button-formaction-answer-demo.php" method="post"><!-- Start of form element with action and method attributes -->
  First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br><!-- Input field for entering first name -->
  Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br><!-- Input field for entering last name -->
<button type="submit">Submit</button><br><!-- Submit button labeled "Submit" -->
<button type="submit" formaction="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/button-formaction-admin-demo.php">Submit as admin</button><!-- Submit button labeled "Submit as admin" with formaction attribute specifying a different URL to submit the form data to -->
</form><!-- End of form element -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML document starts with a doctype declaration indicating it's an HTML5 document.
Inside the <html> tags, the document structure begins.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and the title.
The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
Within the body section, there's a <form> element created with the action attribute set to the URL where the form data will be submitted and the method attribute set to "post".
Inside the form, there are input fields for entering first name and last name.
There are two <button> elements within the form:

The first button has the type attribute set to "submit" and is labeled "Submit". It submits the form data to the URL specified in the form's action attribute.
The second button also has the type attribute set to "submit" and is labeled "Submit as admin". However, it has a formaction attribute specifying a different URL to submit the form data to. This allows for submitting the form as an admin to a different endpoint.

The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
