Hi:
Scenario:
My new user submits a registration page to my server (either incomplete
or incorrect input in some fields).
I wish to 'rebuild' this complex registration page using the original
page *plus* fill-in user's submitted data back into the original page, then
send it back at him with an error message to correct it and re-submit.
Leaving out the usage of Javascript at the client's end (for now), is
there a 'classic' way to do this ?? or how do *you* folks do it ?
(if not, then I am faced with rebuilding the Reg Page in my CGI program
(using user's inputs instead of my original 'blank' fields), which is a
*lot* of string manipulation for each input field)
I wonder if I could start up an instance of IE on my *server*, then
learn about innerhtml stuff and do the replacement of fields somehow -- What
a hope (
Also it would be nice if I could leave an invisible unique marker in
front of each of perhaps 20 input fields so later I could find the values I
need to replace during parsing.
Thanks,
