Re: TemplateToolkit and CGI Forms

Putting a query string into your form action is not a good idea. Instead, make a hidden form input called rm with the value page3.

Ah yes, I didn't spot this (the request method) before - more specifically when you are using CGI.pm with a POST request method any query parameters supplied as part of the URL will be ignored by design (although you can uncomment part of the code for this not to happen.) So yes, when you are using a POST method you should be using a hidden field rather then putting the parameter into the URL. /J\	[reply]
