jimmer, I have MipsPro.

I may be missing something. Maybe if you tell me exactly (ie, like I'm a very stupid 4 year old) what to do to compile, I'll try your instructions.

Is this version the same as 0.9?

There's another thread...

Hi all.

I have a problem I'm having difficulties solving.

I have an HTML page with a table, where every row on the table is a form.
At the end of each row I have a submit button.

The problem is this, I want to combine all the forms into one, so I can have one submit button, *AND*, I have to do it in HTML only, ie, no javaScript or anything else.

Anyone know of a way I can combine multiple forms into one?

There are a number of ways I could have done this, all of which would have been vastly superior to the way it is now. The reality is, that this code is very old legacy code that I've inherited. I uses python cgi, along with HTMLgen to generate pages.

Initially it had very limited functionality, but now, it is to be extended considerably. Hence my dilemma. I have a page with a table, and several rows, all of which contain a single form. I have a checkbox for each row (ie each form) and I want to be able to submit all checked/selected rows with one button.

So yes dude, it is silly, but that's the situation I'm in.

I've been told it is possible, but CGI is not my forte. Hopefully someone out there could steer me in the right direction.
And no, I can't refactor or start again, in case you were wondering. ;-)

I mean how hard it is to add a server side variable to not echo the <form></form> tags per line (I'm assuming your code generates each HTML form and checkbox via a function in a template.) and stick one around the whole nested table structure. Maybe a few lines to change the naming scheme, and you're done as each submit now submits the whole form.


I think this is the way to go. Generate a single form out of all forms in the table. Trouble is, how to implement it. :oops:
