The information is available and you'll find it by searching for and
reading up on html forms. For html forms to work some java usually gets
executed. Could it be done with perl and cgi? Probably, but I haven't
run into any code examples of that yet. Should it be done using perl?
Yes since full java installations don't exist on every computer and for
users with accessibility needs the java access bridge probably needs to be
installed and working properly too. With perl, you don't need any of that
extra stuff.

I have a question for you HTML types.
How do you make a text box where you submit comments say what it is when you
tab over it in Safari? This text area tag does not appear to work. VO only
says "edit box" or something when I tab across it. I can't give you a link,
but I am sure you have seen those boxes where there is no label but you are
allowed to put text in.
