for key in form.keys():Yes, I know which fields are hidden because I
made them that way, but I am trying to figure out a way I can iterate
over the fields and do one thing with hidden fields (assign them to
variables that tell the form how to process) and a different thing with
non hidden fields (present them back to the browser with after
emailling them on to the form owner). I want this script to work fro
several forms on the same webserver, some of which will have several
different and individual names. I am also hopeful that I may be able
to extrapolate from that ways to differentiate other things from my
form input things, but we'll see how it goes.
My html code looks like this:
<h1>Send Feedback</h1>
<form action="cgi/formparse.py" method="get">
<input name="subject" type="text" size="32" maxlength="196">Subject<br>
<input name="name" type="text" maxlength="64">Your name<br>
<input name="email1" type="text" size="24" maxlength="128">Your email
address. <br>
<br><br>Please let me know your thoughts below.<br><textarea
name="thoughts" cols="64" rows="12"></textarea><br>
<input type=submit value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
<input type="hidden" name="mailserver" value="localhost">
<input name="Clear" type="button" value="Clear"></form>
In other news, I have tried suggested syntaxes aboce (thanks guys!) but
I get strange errors. If the following:
for key in form.keys():
if not form.keys():
print "<h1> ERROR! <h1><BR>"
print "Please go back and fill in all fields. All fields are
required.<br>"
I get a traceback in teh error_log file that looks like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "cgi/form.py", line 34, in ?
for key, value in form.items():
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/cgi.py", line 533, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError, name
AttributeError: items
if this:
for key in form.keys():
if not form.keys()[key]:
print "<h1> ERROR! <h1><BR>"
print "Please go back and fill in all fields. All fields are
required.<br>"
print '</body></html>'
the I get this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/www/users/senta/html/gobooks/cgi/form.py", line 35, in ?
if not form.keys()[key]:
TypeError: list indices must be integers
As you can see, I am using python 2.3 (my web service provider is
responsible for this - I'd use 2.4.1 if I could)
TIA
