HTML forms using cgi to post responses. Need help my script please!

[myhouse]

Hi all,

I really need help here. I've tried so many thing to try to get an HTML form to post on my website. I'm trying to have a bulletin board on my site that immediately post the responses. I've tried reading 3 books and countless websites to make this work. I know I am missing something that all my resources are just leaving out. What are the basic constituents of a cgi script within an html page that I need? I've been trying various combinations of the following script. What am I missing?

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/form1.txt&quot;

target=&quot;_top&quot;>

Thank you in advance for all the help and code.

Here's the missing piece: HTML forms submit their data to programs running on the web server, not to files anywhere.

You're going to have to learn a programming language to process the data.

You must have bought some junk books. They should have mentioned somewhere that CGI is a standard interface whereby data is made available to applications running on web servers. ______________________________________________________________________
