Hi, I need some help on using ClientForm to post to cgi and getting response. I have done this many times and it worked very well until now. I have contacted the webmaster of the page I'm interested in an this is the response I got:

The post I do returnes and error from the python code saying there is no form field called xxx but actually it exists in the form. Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
