I am just beginning to experiment with CGI. Currently I have a list of 10
storage arrays (EMC or XP) in a static page with a hyperlink from each to a
static page which provides information about their configuration. As the list
grows this approach will become increasingly cumbersome. Therefore, my
initial modest goal is to use the <SELECT> tag to offer the users a pull down
list of storage devices which will simply function like the links in the
existing static HTML page. I have examined both the Lincoln Stein and the
O'Reilly CGI books and neither appear to speak directly to this type of
action. All of their examples seem to want me to dynamically create a new
HTML page based on the user's selection. That is the direction I am headed
but it is not the intial goal to which I am striving.
After hours of groping around I did find a syntax that kind of works -
<FORM ACTION="array1.html" METHOD="GET">
I figure if I variablize the file name then the select tag could input the
file name I need into this FORM ACTION statement. Is that the way to do this
or is there a preferrable method?
