I did too. However John has emailed me since in soothful tones, and I have calmed down (8-)# I am very near a working form now. http://firshman.co.uk/scripts/qq.cgi (Yes John M & S, you did not need to add the www.) I -think- the error checking is pretty complete. There -will- be problems so I would be grateful if people could try and break it. The underlying code was much more complex than I had imagined. I was up until 4am, and have spent most of today on it! I had forgotten that not only did I have to maintain variables for the items and error line, but also CHECKED and SELECTED for all the SELECT and CHECKBOX items. It didn't help that I still haven't worked out how to use indirection in perl (hard and symbolic references). I did all variables using HASH arrays, which works fine. The submit, if the form is parsed OK, will go nowhere right now. I will email John S and also save the results locally, and sometime write a program to add to an archive database. It will interesting to try it using JH's perl for QL, when we get a QL webserver (8-)# > >As far as etiquette was concerned, after I received John's email >personally, I wrote a friendly email to him explaining several points >of the etiquette, and pointing out that he was not to know these on his >first posting to the group.
