Hi all,
just need some help on my coding. I cant figure out what i'm doing wrong as far as i can see it should be working....
It s a very basic guestbook form and the cgi script seems to work but for some reason my reply page won't show up????
the form:
<html>
<head></head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<h1>A Simple Guestbook</h1>
<form method="post" action="first.cgi">
<h4>Name</h4>
<p><input name="name" type="text" size="50"
value="Random Person">
<h4>Email</h4>
<p><input name="email" type="text" size="50"
value="someone@someplace.com.au">
<h4>Your Comments</h4>
<p>
<textarea name="comment" rows="3" cols="50"
wrap="virtual">
Enter text here...
</textarea>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Clear Form">
</form>
</body></html>
the cgi script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Guest book reply and storage script
#
# Start by defining the source and target
source reply.tpl
target STDOUT
open all
# Define default values for the variables
var name Fred Nurk
var comment Hello World
var email fnurk@csu.edu.au
# Now do the processing
form
cgi
xmlsub
# Close the files
close source
# The following lines write the data to a file
source guestbook.tpl
target data.xml
open all
xmlsub
close all
#
# End of the guestbook script
If any one can help me out, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
syd
