- Hello!
-
- When "surfing" on many pages, I often discover many different kind of forms,
- and when I take a look at the HTML-source, they all seem to have an entry
- like this (code from AMD's WWW-site):
-
- O /
- X - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- O \
-
- <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/epdcontest">
-
- and then different types of inputs:
-
- <LI>What is the architecture of the 29K<FONT SIZE=-3>(TM)</FONT> family?<BR>
- <input type="radio" name="Q1" value="a">16-bit CISC<BR>
- <input type="radio" name="Q1" value="b">32-bit CISC<BR>
- <input type="radio" name="Q1" value="c">32-bit RISC<BR>
- <input type="radio" name="Q1" value="d">64-bit RISC<BR>
-
- <P>Address: <input SIZE=40 maxlength=40 NAME="street">
-
- <P>So that your entry is valid, please be sure you
- answer <B>all</B> questions before you <INPUT TYPE="submit"
- VALUE="Submit This Form">. If any item is not completed, you will get
- a message that your entry is not valid and have the opportunity to try
- again.</P>
-
- O /
- X - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- O \
-
- I wonder what is happening, when the users clicks on "submit" - I know,
- that the form is handled by the program in /cgi-bin/epdcontest , but
- how does this program get the input from the browser and so on ???
-
- In general I'm no expert in HTML, I prefer doing this by the Try-And-Error
- principle :-) - But if it cannot be said shortly, are there any C-sourcecode
- for cgi-binaries somewhere (hopefully ANSI C) or do I have to start with
- Perl (I've heard, that many uses Perl).
