If you're trying to post to an ..html file, which is static, you may as well just link. If you want to send a user to a static HTML page after you process their posted data, just use a redirect header, or print out your HTML with the script that processes the data. If you have a Perl script with a .html, posting to a ".html" file is not your largest problem. I notice that you're including the output of a Perl script in your HTML, but that makes no difference. It's still HTML, it's just being parsed for SSI. Since the static HTML in your example is so minimal, why not just add a few extra 'print's so your script and point the form to it? hth, -- Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
