This depends on what you want to do. If you want to verify data in a form
before it gets submitted...say a user enters an incorrect e-mail address,
and you want to prompt him for a proper one before submitting, then I
would use a cgi script that works like so:
(this is how I have done it in the past...also using Linux...not Windows)
User presses submit
(submission actually takes place...but CGI handles it accordingly)
CGI script checks each form entry
If any of the form entries are incorrect
CGI prints out the same form with the user's entries in it
Along with messages indicating the problems
(using variables for user entries above is the easiest way...so, a cgi
script that generates an HTML form is the way to go....you won't even
have to use javascript then )
User presses submit again
If form is correct, CGI script continues on to whatever code
Hope that helps,
Jessica
