RE: Help w/ CGI form

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tanya,

When testing your form (WinNT, Netscape Communicator 4.7) I didn't receive 
a window saying that I have chosen to download a form. I did however, 
receive the output which said to please check sender's email address.

The download window could be caused by anything from the server not being 
set up to parse Perl files properly to the mailform.pl script returning the 
improper headers before producing output.

The email message sounds like the script requires a certain field which 
isn't being provided by the form you are submitting.

If you would like me to take a look at the script, could you include the 
mailform.pl script you are using as well as what type of server it is 
running on? A poorly written script can cause all sorts of problems for 
different platforms and servers.
