There is a generic DB API howto document and I have a database topic in my tutor which uses SQLite but the basic principles are identical you just load a different driver... > 2.

You should be able to store the time of page display and submission as hidden fields. Javascript might be the easiest way to do this using the onLoad event. Then get the difference in times when they hit submit and pass the elapsed time as a hidden field for the CGI to pick up and display. Alternatively just pass the onLoad time when submit is called and do the calculations at the CGI, but then you get network transit and server queuing times added... -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web tutor http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
