HTML Fields don't save data to Detailview

I have several HTML fields of varying kinds. From multiple checkbox fields to multiple radio buttons with an “other” option that has a textbox. I also have 2 html tables. No matter what data is entered, no data is saved. Because when I look at the data in the detailview, no changes I saved are present and on top of that all the fields are still editable in the detailview.

This is a sample HTML Table I made:

<table id="t01">
<tbody>
<tr><th>&nbsp;</th><th>Tax Year</th><th>$ Amount</th></tr>
<tr>
<td>Cash Contribution</td>
<td><form action="action_page.php"><input id="taxyear1" type="text" name="tax_year_1" value="" /></form></td>
<td><form action="action_page.php"><input id="amount1" type="text" name="amount_1" value="" /></form></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cash Contribution</td>
<td><form action="action_page.php"><input id="taxyear2" type="text" name="tax_year_2" value="" /></form></td>
<td><form action="action_page.php"><input id="amount2" type="text" name="amount_2" value="" /></form></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Here is a sample Multiple Checkbox (A way for the user to “Select all that apply”) (And no I cannot stand the multi-line edit tool that already exists):

<form action="action_page.php">
<p><input id="life_insurance" type="checkbox" name="life_insurance" value="1" />Life Insurance<br /> <input id="Securities" type="checkbox" name="Securities" value="1" />Securities<br /> <input id="CPA" type="checkbox" name="CPA" value="1" />CPA<br /> <input id="Attorney" type="checkbox" name="Attorney" value="1" />Attorney<br /> <input id="Mortgage_Broker" type="checkbox" name="Mortgage_Broker" value="1" />Mortgage Broker<br /> <input id="Real_Estate" type="checkbox" name="Real_Estate" value="1" />Real Estate<br /> <input id="Enroller" type="checkbox" name="Enroller" value="1" />Enroller<br /> <input id="None" onclick="hideshowlicense()" type="checkbox" name="None" value="1" />None</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</form>

Is this a web to lead form? Or is this a custom form you have written saving data to the CRM?
