Re^2: PERL CGI Form Processing while URL change

Thanks, but CSS is not my main concern. Below is code of form present on http://localhost

<form action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/env.pl" method="POST">
<input id="q" type="text" size="15" name="query" value="" />
            </br>
            <input type="submit" value="Find" />
            </form>
[download]

This form method works fine on homepage.

But when user submits a query, and URL changes to http://localhost/cgi-bin/env.pl, the form doesn't work anymore. Page http://localhost/cgi-bin/env.pl also contains same form code as present on homepage.

As far as I have read about Web development I know for this case Ajax, is good solution. But I want to know what wrong I did, in this case.

Page http://localhost/cgi-bin/env.pl also contains same form code as present on homepage. If that were true, then it stands to reason that the 2 pages would behave the same. Since they don't, I suspect there is a difference. Arnon Weinberg Back2Front - The Web Site People	[reply]

Actually code is same in both pages, for form. And what I found was, when first I make search on homepage, using same form, it give results and page/url migrates to env.pl, where same form is present, now when I search again using same form, it works an prints results. But next time, i.e second time on env.pl, it breaks. I also don't know what is the reason for working at first time, and not working at second time. Now, I am using cg::ajax, so now this is no problem for me, but I would like to hear some reason for it, to increase my knowledge. thanks for your time	[reply]
