Simple POST Form

  1. Create an input form in your preferred HTML editor, set the form method to post and the form action to an rsp file:
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="handle_it.rsp">
<p> Account_no: 
<input type="text" name="account_no">
<br>
Title: 
<input type="text" name="title">
<br>
Last_name: 
<input type="text" name="last_name">
<br>
First_name: 
<input type="text" name="first_name">
<br>
Initial: 
<input type="text" name="initial">
<br>
Street: 
<input type="text" name="street">
<br>
City: 
<input type="text" name="city">
<br>
State: 
<input type="text" name="state">
<br>
Zip: 
<input type="text" name="zip">
<br>
Limit: 
<input type="text" name="limit">
<br>
Balance: 
<input type="text" name="balance">
<br>
Available: 
<input type="text" name="available">
<br>
Notes: 
<input type="text" name="notes">
<br>
Start_date: 
<input type="text" name="start_date">
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Create the form handler rsp file. This is coded in Recital and the form data can be accessed from the _post[] dynamic array. Any ? display commands will be sent to the browser client.
