Hi Experts,

here is what I do right now:

<p>Hostname(s) where Printer should be installed:<br>
<select name="TOHOST" size="5">
<option> hsysap80 </option>
<option> hsysap81 </option>
<option> hsysap20 </option>
<option> hsysap21 </option>
<option> hsysap22 </option>
</select>
</p>

but what I really want to do is to get the options from a file or command output. I'm on a UNIX Box...

Appreciate any ideas
TIA
Axel

hmmm... all the page must be created using the ksh script...

start the shell with the following:

Code: 
#!/bin/ksh  (or whatever it is)
printf "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
echo "<html><head></head>"
echo "<body>"

... you page here..
...

echo '<select name="TOHOST" size="5">'
cat list_options.txt | awk '{print "<option> $0 </option>"
echo "</select>"
echo "</body></html>"

the *printf "Content-type: text/html\n\n"* is mandatory.

chmod 555 file_page.cgi

The awk part should be changed to something like
[tt]
awk '{print "<option> " $0 " </option>"}'
[/tt]

I've been on a similar mission to get people to stop using backticks in favor of the more readable, more nestable $( ... ) construct. It's going about as well as Randall's campaign.
