Building an On-Rev Guest Book

Thu Aug 27 18:29:59 EDT 2009

Instead of posting the form data to a separate file, post it back to  
the file containing the form itself and have it read the post data,  
save it and then display it all in the one file.

So put the script you have in form.irev into an HTML snippet on the  
original page. Then change the form action to point to whatever you  
have called that file.

For some On-Rev examples, check out my page at http://www.troz.net/onrev/ 
  especially the Simple Form script.

Cheers,
Sarah
