Sorry, setting up the CGI object was useless in that case, since I didn't use the object to create the fields. My bad. Sorry.

Try 'perldoc CGI.pm' and go through it until you find the form examples. Here's a *very* basic example of a form with a select menu: #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; use strict; my $q = new CGI; print header; start_html('Test Form'), h2('Test Form'), start_form, "First Name: ",textfield('firstname'), "Last Name: ",textfield('lastname'), "How would you rate your good looks?", popup_menu(-name=>'rating', -values=>['1','2','3','4','5','6', '7','8','9',10']), p, submit, end_form, hr; print end_html; -----Original Message----- From: Jessica Ortiz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 2:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: html in a cgi script Hi Scott, I am in the same boat like Matthew here. Do you have any examples to implement selection list boxes, text boxes, as well as checkboxes? I'd just like to see how you would do that using this style of html: use CGI; # use CGI.pm $q = new CGI; # initiate a new CGI object $q->header(); # write an HTTP header to the browser $q->start_html; # start the HTML doc $q->title('Matt\'s Test HTML Page'); # write a title $q->h3('Matt\'s Test HTML Page'); # write an <h3> $q->p('This is an HTML page without the fancy stuff.'); # <p> $q->end_html; # end the HTML doc Thanks.
