Building an On-Rev Guest Book

Thanks for responding, Sarah.

Tried that but it doesn't work.  The page displays the result of the  
form.irev code as it would be before the form is processed even if the  
form is filled and the submit button clicked.  Perhaps I misunderstood  
your instructions.  I changed

	"http://myAccount.on-rev.com/form.irev"

in the form action in 2 below to

	"http://localhost/mySiteFolder/thePage.html"  (Site folder on my Mac)

I then put another HTML snippet on the page with the irev code

	<iFrame src="http://pareto.on-rev.com/form.irev">

I also tried to upload the web site from my Sites folder to my www  
folder at On-Rev using the Web Disk, but I kept getting an error.  Sigh.
