Instead of posting the form data to a separate file, post it back to the file containing the form itself and have it read the post data, save it and then display it all in the one file.

So put the script you have in form.irev into an HTML snippet on the original page. Then change the form action to point to whatever you have called that file.

For some On-Rev examples, check out my page at http://www.troz.net/onrev/ especially the Simple Form script.

Cheers,
Sarah

Hello everyone,

Well, I've made some progress with this whole On-Rev thing. I'm trying to reproduce Kevin Miller's video example of guest book form that echoes the entry and save it to a file except that I want to do it using an HTML snippet object in an iWeb page that I've got served from my Mac in the Sites folder. I think the HTML snippet works like an iFrame but I'm not sure if they are the same thing. Man, that was a mouthful and probably a pain to read, but it's just the three parts listed below.

Everything works fine except that the entry is echoed in a new (blank) window rather than tacked onto the original form page as in Kevin's example. Can anyone tell me how I can get the entry to echo in the original form?

Much obliged,

   Gregory

1.  An iWeb site served from my Mac's Sites folder

2.  One of the pages has the following HTML snippet:

<form action="http://myAccount.on-rev.com/form.irev";  method="post">
   -- Kevin's web form HTML code copied here
</form>

3. The form.irev file referred to in the snippet in 2 above has the following code that processes the form.

<html>

<?rev
put $_POST["name"] into theName
put $_POST["age"] into theAge
put $_POST["email"] into theEmail

if theName is not empty
then

put theName & tab & theAge & tab & theEmail & return \
after url ("file:testGuestBook.txt")

put "YOUR REGISTRATION" & "</br>"
put "Name:" && theName & "</br>"
put "Age:" && theAge & "</br>"
put "eMail:" && theEmail & "</br>"
put  "</br>" & "</br>"
put "OTHER REGISTRANTS" & "</br>"
put url ("file:testLogin.txt")
else
put "NO NAME!"
end if

?>

</html>
