Response Form

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to create a response or feedback form that works in cooperation with the FormMail CGI script. We have FormMail installed on our system already, you can go ahead and use it. If you're doing the labs at home using a different ISP then you must find a mail form handling script that your provider supports. NOTE: If you don't read the FormMail CGI script read me then you are sunk. Read it while reading this lab.

Requirements

Note: The "form" refers to the form you fill out. The "results page" refers to the page the user sees after the form is submitted correctly. The "error page" refers to what the user sees if they fill out a form incorrectly.

For the form (example):

• There must be a text area 40 columns by 5 rows that must be filled out.
• There should be some default text in the text area.
