Accessing CGI Via a Form
If your CGI script requires that you receive input from a website visitor and then post the
information to the CGI script, then you will need to use a standard CGI form as described
above. The difference is that the a c t i o n of your form will be the CGI script being
referenced.

For example, if you wanted to target the guestbook given above, your HTML form may look
something like this:

This simple form is created using standard HTML elements. The only area of note is the
< f o r m > tag itself, which contains the following HTML Markup:
< f o r m m e t h o d = " P O S T " a c t i o n = " . . / c g i - b i n / g u e s t b o o k . c g i " >
