Web form's reply on same page as form.

[John]

I have a HTML <form> on a page with
"action=www.fred999.com/cgi/hydrogen.pl".

When the form is submitted the answer appears on a new page.

Is there any way that the reply from the perl can *continue* on the same
page as the <form>?

Regards
John

One way to do that is to let hydrogen.pl generate the form instead of
having it on a static HTML page.

print form();

if ( $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq 'POST' ) {
print result();
}

This is really an HTTP / HTML question, not a Perl question.

Googling for AJAX might help, if you want to see the results of form
submission without the browser fetching a whole web-page.
