all you have to do is set the ACTION attribute of the
FORM in your HTML code to tell the browser where to
post the form contents.....
example:
<FORM ACTION="http://server.com/cgi/blah.pl" METHOD="POST">
will POST the form contents to "blah.pl"
then, it is up to you to get the information that's
been posted (i highly recomend Deurl.pm by Jenda Krynicky
it's on CPAN somewhere... just search for it) | [reply] |
i cant find any deurl.pm is there any other perl script that works good?
| [reply] |
that last posting i did had some HTML code (and i wasn't
logged in at the time)... here is the example again...
<FORM ACTION="http://server.com/cgi/blah.pl" METHOD="POST">
(PS, if you want to make forms with required fields, the
easiest and fastest way is to use a bit of javascript) | [reply]
[d/l] |
While javascript might be the fastest and easiest way to
check for required fields, it's not a true way to verify
that a required field has been filled in. It's a great way
to offload some traffic by making sure that the form is
filled out before sending the data across the network, but
can be easily gotten around since javascript can be disabled.
In order to thoroughly check that fields are filled in,
server-side checking has to be done, in addition to any
client-side checks.
