Re: Forms and interaction in CGI

Hallo Roman,

You say you need some forms and radio buttons, are you sure you are not looking to print HTML?
Have a look at CGI.pm, a tool which will help you print out HTML and parse submitted HTML forms.

I need a value (integer >0) stored in a variable. Like here:
Number(1..20000)?:_________

Im not quite sure what you mean here, you need an integer stored in a variable?
$variable = 42;
Can you rephrase?

In any case, examples of doing this kind of thing, if I have understood your question correctly, can be found in abundance in the CGI.pm documentation.

This works good, thanks! use CGI qw/:standard/; print header, start_html('Simple Script'), h1('Simple Script'), start_form, "What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p, "What's the combination?", checkbox_group(-name=>'words', -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'], -defaults=>['eenie','moe']),p, "What's your favorite color?", popup_menu(-name=>'color', -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),p, submit, end_form, hr,"\n"; if (param) { print "Your name is ",em(param('name')),p, "The keywords are: ",em(join(", ",param('words'))),p, "Your favorite color is ",em(param('color')),".\n"; } print end_html; [download] Im not quite sure what you mean here, you need an integer stored in a variable? $variable = 42; Can you rephrase? Maybe: `"What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p,` Here i need a number. Can I change the text of the button "Submit Query"? How can I put the output in a textfield with scrollbars?

A textfield will take text including numbers, it is up to you to check if the user submitted a number on the server. As for changing the button text: `use CGI ':standard'; print submit( suggestion => 'RTFM' ); __DATA__ <input type="submit" name="suggestion" value="RTFM" />` [download] cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]
