As an aside, you should consider that your action does not even have to be
an absolute URL. Even if the form is in the HTML tree instead of the CGI
tree, you can at least get away with just ACTION="/scripts/myscript.cgi"
isntead of the whole HTTP://etc..
If the form was generated by another scripts in the scripts directory, then
you can get away with ACTION="myscript.cgi".
And finally, if the script that generated the form is the same that is
being posted to, you can leave off ACTION= entirely because the default
action is to submit the data to the same exact script.
Later,
