No? What do you think would be wrong with a `<input type="text" name="myHTML">` or a `<textarea name="myHTML"></textarea>`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

So simple `<textarea name="myHTML"></textarea>` [download] should work for ant HTML content without any decoding/encoding and will be transfered to the server just fine preserving all symbols ? If this is the case I am all set.	[reply] [d/l]

Sure. `<!-- showme.htm --> <html> <body> <form method="POST" action="showme.pl"> <textarea name="myHTML"></textarea> <input type="checkbox" name="asHTML">Show as HTML <input type="submit"> </form> </body> </html>` [download] `#!/usr/bin/perl # showme.pl use strict; use warnings; use CGI 'param'; my $html = param('myHTML'); my $ashtml = param('asHTML'); if ($ashtml) { print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print $html; } else { print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"; print "The HTML you submitted looks like:\n"; print "" x 76, "\n"; print $html; print "\n", "" x 76, "\n"; }` [download] Given this input in the textarea: `<html> <head> <title>Show me</title> </head> <body>Hi</body> </html>` [download] Without checking the box I get this output: `The HTML you submitted looks like: ******************************************************************** +** <html> <head> <title>Show me</title> </head> <body>Hi</body> </html> ****************************************************************** +****` [download] And if I check the box I just get a page saying "Hi", titled "Show me". It really isn't that hard.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Maybe something like this, using an email address: The form element `<form_action="cgi-bin/upload.cgi" method="post" enctype="multipart/for +m-data">` [download] The form field `<p>Your email address: <input type="text" name="email_address" /></p>` [download] The submit button `<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit Form" /></p>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

But how does that send html as-is to the server?	[reply]
