Building an On-Rev Guest Book

Thu Aug 27 17:23:46 EDT 2009

Hello everyone,

Well, I've made some progress with this whole On-Rev thing.  I'm  
trying to reproduce Kevin Miller's video example of guest book form  
that echoes the entry and save it to a file except that I want to do  
it using an HTML snippet object in an iWeb page that I've got served  
from my Mac in the Sites folder.  I think the HTML snippet works like  
an iFrame but I'm not sure if they are the same thing.  Man, that was  
a mouthful and probably a pain to read, but it's just the three parts  
listed below.

Everything works fine except that the entry is echoed in a new (blank)  
window rather than tacked onto the original form page as in Kevin's  
example.  Can anyone tell me how I can get the entry to echo in the  
original form?

Much obliged,

	Gregory

1.  An iWeb site served from my Mac's Sites folder

2.  One of the pages has the following HTML snippet:

<form action="http://myAccount.on-rev.com/form.irev"  method="post">		
	-- Kevin's web form HTML code copied here
</form>

3.  The form.irev file referred to in the snippet in 2 above has the  
following code that processes the form.

<html>

<?rev
put $_POST["name"] into theName
put $_POST["age"] into theAge
put $_POST["email"] into theEmail

if theName is not empty
then

put theName & tab & theAge & tab & theEmail & return \
after url ("file:testGuestBook.txt")

put "YOUR REGISTRATION" & "</br>"
put "Name:" && theName & "</br>"
put "Age:" && theAge & "</br>"
put "eMail:" && theEmail & "</br>"
put  "</br>" & "</br>"
put "OTHER REGISTRANTS" & "</br>"
put url ("file:testLogin.txt")
else
put "NO NAME!"
end if

?>

</html>
