Sorry to have bothered the list. I figured out the answer (sort of). I had
parse the HTML code through an XHTML parser which removed all the name=
leaving id= only. That doesn't work with the cgi.FieldStorage function. I
still don't know how to do it with XHTML which doesn't evidently support
the name= at all. So, html it is.

Thanks,
Vicki

I don't see anything in that page that changes what I am doing. I can get
rid of everything that has to do with retrieving data from
cgi-FieldStorage, and the code executes fine although I get a blank page.
I have revised the code somewhat, but the initial problem of
cgi.FieldStorage being empty is still there. I don't get an error now,
just an empty page. Here is the revised code:

 #! /usr/bin/python
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
print
print "\n\n"

import cgitb, os, sys
cgitb.enable()
sys.strerr = sys.stdout

import cgi

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
field_list = '\n'
for field in form.keys():
field_list = field_list + '%s\n' % field
field_list = field_list + '\n'
print field_list
print "\n\n"

I looked into your question a bit (researching other's problems may help

[Tutor] Python cgi doesn't get data from html form as expected

2005-03-22 Thread Vicki Stanfield 
I have recently started doing cgi in Python and have run into a problem. I
have an html form which has various widgets which accept data. I also have
this in that html file:



formdata.py runs but doesn't seem to contain the data from the form. I'm
not sure of the format for the for with regard to FieldStorage btw. Here
is the contents of formdata.py:


#! /usr/bin/python
import cgitb, os, sys
cgitb.enable()

import cgi

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
print ""
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
for each in form:
print "each"
print form['fname'].value, form['lname'].value
#print "address:", form['addr'].value()
print ""
