Ben, do you mean they use cgi? If so, there should be a folder cgi-bin on the hosting server. In that folder there will be a bunch of perl scripts. You need to look at the form.pl or the formmail.pl, depending on what you are doing with the form. The perl scripts will tell you which lines to edit to make the script do what you want. Then you just need to edit the <form> tag so the "action" points to right script, for example:<form method=post" action="cgi-bin/form.pl">.
Don't use dreamweaver so I've no idea if it handles perl, but I doubt it. I found it best to download perl to be able to edit in a reliable manner. Some people manage to do it in a test editor but that's never worked for me. Perl for windows is at http://www.activestate.com. It's an easy install. Download the script to the perl directory, edit in perl and then upload. drew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 04, 2003 12:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] How do I make a form work?
