  1. POSubmit form values to cgi
    text
    copied!<p>I have an HTML form with multiple dropdowns where, on submit, I receive a blank page. I had it working with a separate form, but once I added more values to submit, I started having issues. I am running the form from public-html and the cgi script inside of cgi-bin. I feel like this is pretty basic stuff but I can't seem to work it out. Below is the basic CGI script followed by the form. Thanks much for your help. </p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python # Import modules for CGI handling import cgi, cgitb # Create instance of FieldStorage form = cgi.FieldStorage() # Get data from fields if form.getvalue('select01'): tier = form.getvalue('select01') else tier = "Please Select Tier" if form.getvalue('select02'): version = form.getvalue('select02') else version = "Please Select Version" if form.getvalue('select03'): point = form.getvalue('select03') else point = "Please Select Audit Point" print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n" print "&lt;html&gt;" print "&lt;head&gt;" print "&lt;title&gt;Dropdown Demo&lt;/title&gt;" print "&lt;/head&gt;" print "&lt;body&gt;" print "&lt;h2&gt; The Values Selected are %s, %s, %s &lt;/h2&gt;" % (tier, version, point) print "&lt;/body&gt;" print "&lt;/html&gt;" </code></pre> <p>Here is the form. Apologies for the length, I am using jquery to filter the third dropdown, but did not include it to save space. As you can see, I have 3 dropdowns and would like to post all 3 values to cgi on submit. </p> <pre><code>&lt;section id="forms"&gt; &lt;div class="row"&gt; &lt;div class="span10 offset1"&gt; &lt;form class="form-horizontal well" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/dropdown.py"&gt;
