Practical exercises #21

1. Look at some Web pages containing forms and see if you can make sense of the HTML source.

2. In the lecture, an example of an HTML page containing a FORM was given. If you'd prefer, here's a copy -- save the page as "source" and you can modify it and put it in your own public_html directory with a suitable name. This CGI program (written in Perl) can be used to process the FORM data. You'll also need the extra file common.pl, which is a set of extra Perl functions which are useful in handling CGI data. Put it all together and make it work.
