Since you're talking about redisplaying the page with results added, I assume this page is dynamically created by another python script. If so, you can put the form's generation in a function that will take page-specific params and put them in the appropriate hidden fields. Then just call that function from the script generating your web page. > I suppose I am looking for some sort of session management, Depends...

I've seen some basic session management for CGI somewhere, but that's mostly old stuff. > I am running on an ISP, with > no knowledge of python, so asking about getting packages loaded will > not be an option. You can install packages in your own space - you'll just have to make sure that there in your python path. > I have 'Python in a Nutshell', but it is a bit sparse on everyday web > page examples. "everyday web pages examples" in Python usually imply a more sophisticated framework and a long running process (think Zope, Django, CherryPy, Pylons, mod_python, wsgi, fcgi etc...) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
