Re: Execute Perl from Javascript

Here is a very simple example. In a form you can have javascript handlers execute onSubmit as shown. Your form can be no more than a single button.

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function CheckForm (form) {
   // do javascript stuff here
   // return true to submit form
   // retrun false and form will not submit
   return true
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form" method="POST" onSubmit="CheckForm" action="/cgi/mail
+list.cgi">
<input type="text" name="message" value="Just Another Hacker">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Hello Javascript">
</form>
</body>
</html>

This is the sort of structure you use a lot for client side form validation. If you return false the form is not submitted to the cgi script.
