Did you even read the problem description? oops...i did read the problem description, but i when i tried the code it worked for me and when i put spaces into the TextArea it wasn't reflected correctly back. So i thought this was the problem. Adrian, can you still try replacing spaces with via the following; #!/usr/bin/python import cgi import urllib import cgitb cgitb.enable() print "Content-type: text/html\n" form = cgi.FieldStorage() #print urllib.quote_plus(form["essay"].value) for char in form["essay"].value: if char == ' ': print " " else: print char Cheers -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

python cgi problem with textarea
This may be more a cgi thing than a Python one, but I'm trying to get this page: http://adrian10.phpwebhosting.com/trial.html consisting basically of this: ...to print out the contents of the textarea with this cgi script: #!/usr/bin/python import cgi print "Content-type: text/html\n" form = cgi.FieldStorage() print form["essay"].value ...and I get an internal server error if I have any spaces in the textarea, which is really going to limit its usefulness to me. Oddly, it seems to work for a friend in the UK who's looked at it, but it doesn't work for me here in Japan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
