Working With CGI

To make your form really work, you have to have it processed with an external script file, a "form handler".


Methods

If you select the form on the page you get the following in the properties panel:

Here you:
- name the form
- select the Method for sending
-add in the CGI url in the Actions field (ex. "http://www.cookwood.com/cgi-bin/display_results.pl")

The Get Method:
sends results of the form in the URL submitted to the script
-used only for small forms with no sensitive data: no credit card info.

The Post Method:
encodes the material sent to the script
-used for all form data and sensitive material.
