Hi All,

I'm an experianced VB & Java programmer but until now haven't really applied this to web pages.

For a charity event I want to put a comment box on our site for feedback. Only to capture Name & Comment fields > preferably to store the info in a text file.

Is CGI the right route to be going down or should I be looking at ASP.

It should be a pretty simple thing to achieve no?

I was googling but only getting examples for db's and user/name password guestbooks etc. All this is a lot more than I need really.

Any ideas????

Cheers guys/gals

Hi

Yes, I have an idea. Tell us what languages can you use for CGI. Maybe also your web server and operating system.

The task itself is simple.

Well I'n new to CGI but I beleive I can use VB, Java & Perl to accomplish this? Do I need to install something to use perl?

I'm running Abyss X1 web server on Windows 2003, only cause I didn't have my I386 folder handy to setup IIS. Plan to migrate soon.

Any server-side language will be able to perform this task for you. It doesn't really matter which you choose.
