Benoit and Randall,
Thank you for your replies.
Yes, Benoit, I understand how CGI works, and have succesfully used the http
component to complete some needed transactions!
I now want to use the browser function to create a web page which will be used
to send information to a server.
1) I have read the "WebPage Syntax", "WebPage (gb.web)", and "WebPage.Main
(gb.web)" definition pages which talk about how to use the browser portion of
the http component.
I have also looked in the "Examples" that came with Gambas3 and all of these:
"How To...", "Tutorials", "Application Repository", "Code Snippets",
"README" and "Additional Gambas Components" sections of the help pages. I found
nothing about a Wiki example. I also did not find anything about where to put
the *.webpage files. Randall talked about the page being rendered in plain
text. That is fine, because I am just using the web page to send information to
a server and get back text which contains the information I need to continue
the process.
2) So, I ask, again, "Where should the *.webpage files be put?" Randall thinks
it "should be in your source folder". Is that correct?
3) I am guessing that the answer to my question of: "...how do I get the
program to run that file by default" may be in the "WebPage.Main (gb.web)"
definition, but I am not entirely sure how to write the call inside the "Main"
routine. Do I just have Main () main.webpage end?
4) BTW: this link: "Make a web application by using CGI" on the tutorials page
has a problem and only shows me the word "CGI"
