I have a form in .html file which has an .asp fle as its action and whenever this action is executed I recieve a Download File dialogue. It's trying to download .asp file instead of sending info to it.

Do you have the code:
Method="Post" in the form tag? It sounds like you've got Method="Get" instead.

This is a function of the server, not the HTML file. You need to configure your server to parse .asp files. If you post which version your server is, and you have access to its configuration (ie it isn't a free or shared host), we can tell you how to fix it.

The Get vs Post isn't applicable here...POST sends the form data via STDIN to the web script, GET sends it in the URL.
