Brett,
Thanks for the reply. Below is a snipet of my cgi ( it is pretty big. if
you want i can send ). As you can see, I did comment out some of the cgi
params, I just wanted to get the textbox and submit to work first - Here
are the params and the snipet of code below.
print $q->start_form;
print $q->textfield(-name=>"listing"),$q->br,$q->submit(-name=>"by_listing",
-value=>"Go!");
Also, I attached the template file. Let me know if you can read it or not.
Matt

This means that the FORM line was the first line it saw.

No good, that's not a real header. Print out $q->header anyway.

As noted by the logfile entry, the FORM line was the first it encountered.
At this point I think there is something wrong with your templates. Are
they simple enough to show?
> do i need to add <FORM METHOD="POST"
> ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"> to my html template file?
No, that is unrelated.
Think of it as unrelated parts: A header identifies the content. This is
the Content-Type=text/html that is $q->header, and must be the first line.
Unrelated to that is the content of the page, which is presumably put out
by your template. The content has no relation to the header (other than
they should agree that it's HTML).
A FORM tag indicates the beginning of a form. It will not affect the
display of the rest of the page.
