Hi Jaqueline! Thanks for your comments. I actually waded in and put in the time today and have solved this already.
CGI is particularly aggravating because it tends to involve multiple files (the form posting page, the cgi script, any text files being used as flat file databases, and any text files being used as templates for the returned HTML pages). It's maddening tracking the changes, getting them to the right directories on the servers, etc. And that's without worrying with the code in the CGI script itself! I actually did move things into a button in the ide and found a dropped end if...:) That was but one of a couple of items however ! I swear sometimes I believe I am net more productive saving the script one line at a time for any change and ftp'ing it up and testing, no matter how small the change. One other note for others just going down the path of using rev for cgi work; if you break your ftp connection while stepping through the cycle of change, ftp up, test, etc.; when you reconnect, make SURE you navigate back to the cgi-bin directory! I lost a half of an hour commenting out lines, ftp'ing up, and testing to no avail because after my reconnect I was sending up the file to the wrong directory and was testing against the old unchanged version! :) Still, when all is sorted out, rev works like a charm for cgi stuff it seems! Thanks again for the suggestions Jaque! _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
