Assignment 2: Processing Forms
For this assignment you will create an HTML form and process that
form with a CGI program. That program can be written in whatever
language you choose, C, Perl, Bourne Shell, etc. The form and shell
script should work from your space on the course web server,
http://webtech.cs.cmu.edu.
The form should use the following elements:
- Input
- Checkbox
- Radio
- Reset
- Submit
- Text
- Select
- Option
- Textarea
The CGI program for the form should process these elements. It should
not simply echo the values back to the client but do something a bit more
creative. An example is to create an order form where items are selected
and customer information is input. Then the total is computed by the
CGI program, tax and shipping added on, and a receipt is presented to
the client.
