Thanks Chris,
You guys are awesome! I followed up on your clue and directed my attention at
Web*. I found a little Demo.cgi application in my tools folder and it
demonstrated how the server generates the $ENV info. Continueing to investigate,
armed with renewed hope and inspiration, I created a small line of code to print
the {SCRIPT_NAME} variable inside the reg_system.cgi code AND IT WORKED! and then
I tried printing $cgi to "look" what might be there and IT WAS THE SAME THING...
my reference to my cgi script location... just as it should be! Horray! not
quite... still a blank between the quotes in the html code ( action="") ...sigh.
But, even that is somewhat encouraging... at least its not showing in the source
action="{{cgi}}"
By the way, I am invoking the cgi through my browser the proper way (I hope) by
entering:
http://www.mydomainname.com/cgi-bin/reg_system.cgi
Any more thoughts on the blank action reference?
