RE: get vs post...

Both CGIDEV2 and CGILIB don't care what method you use. They both check to
see which method was used and then adjust accordingly.
You should be able to use cgiGetVar() and the CGIDEV2 equivalent of it
regardless of GET or POST. That is the CGI program does not change.
Consequently, I have to assume your HTML or your Apache configuration are
what's really wrong here, not the CGI.

Subject: RE: [WEB400] get vs post...

hey all,

I'm still not finding what i'm doing wrong here...If anyone can help, I'd 
more than appreciate it...here's a quick refresher...if my method = "get", 
my submit button does nothing (doesn't call my cgi and error out or 
anything)...however, if i change it to method = "post", it calls my cgi 
program...now, since i'm trying to get the method = "get" to work, my 
called cgi program uses the zhb procedures to process the data...however, 
i wouldn't be opposed to using method = "post" if it works and i knew 
which procedures to use to replace the zhb procedures...here's my html 
source...

i've quadruple (sp?) checked my source to see if i left out any double 
quotes or equals signs and i can't find any...it's probably some real 
obvious stupid thing that i'm overlooking...

thanks for all your help so far...i really appreciate it...
