[users@httpd] mmbodji@umuc.edu
Hello All:
I have an html with a perl script attached to it. What I am trying to do is this:
-Have a user fill out the survey
-If there is a requried field missing, display the form again with the data previously entered by the user.
(I do not want to generate the form using perl)
Questions:
1. How to redisplay the form with a perl script (will redirect do it?)
2. How to display it with the data the user already entered.
Thanks.

Hello:
Thanks for you quick answer. The reason that I do not
generate the form using perl is that I am dealing with
radio-groups(many of them) and it seems hard to handle
them with perl. For example I have 11 radio- button
that relates to one question in the survey and the
user must only select one. I need to have a table with
2 colums to handle the button and have them in order
vertically.
This part does not seem to work with perl. I tried it
and it is taking me nowhere.
Do you have any examples of handling radio_group in a
table and vertically...
Thanks

That's easy enough. The perl script can return a Location: header
pointing at the URL-path of the document.

I don't think this can be done.
You'll really need to have the cgi script generate the html page.

This is relatively simple, well, for your average Perl/HTML-coder that is.
If your want to display data which has been previously entered by the user,
you will need to use PERL (server-side) or Javascript (Client-side). Perhaps
it can even be done by SSI and cookies.
I think the exact how is not suitable for this newsgroups (it is not really
an Apache question), but have you tried looking on Google yet? There are
tons of scripts out there that do exactly what you need, most of them free
of charge. Also, you can download all script-samples from O'Reilly books on
their website. I think you'll find something like this in their book
"CGI-Programming".
Kind Regards,
Sander Holthaus
