Hullo all.
I'm new to perl and linux so if this is obvious to everyone else, I'll
apologize now and feel dumb in advance:
I'm attempting to output the contents of an array (in perl) into an HTML
page as a pull down list.
IOW: I want the array values to become options (as in <option>) in the
list.
Here's how I DID get output without using the pulldown <snip>:
my $i;
for ($i = 0; $i <= $#array_name; $i++){
print "$array_name[$i]\n";
}
</snip>
THAT worked just dandy.
But when I attempt...<snip>:
my $j;
print "<form name="a_form">\n";
print "<select name="pull_my_finger" size=1>\n";
for($j = 0; $j <= $#array_name; $j++){
print "<option>$array_name[$j]\n";
}
print "</select></form>\n";
</snip>
...it fails at me.
Is there a way around this besides embedding the script (and output)
midpage?
