This may not be the right forum, but it seems like a good starting place.
Running a personal web site using IIS 5 and have created some html forms to
submit data to a CGI application. Form looks great, but when I select the
"Submit" radio buttion nothing happens - no runs, no hits, no errors. Can
someone out there suggest a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Hi WMity,
First of all check the correct path been set for the CGI 9i.e the directory
on your server or hosted server).
like this:
<form method="post" action="http://www.wmittyforexample.com/cgi-bin/treat or
trick.cgi">
Also when you uploaded the CGI did you transfer it Binary or ASCII Mode?, it
should be Binary Mode.
Again see the assign permission to the CGI, is it set to 755 or the equal if
you using MS server which you are and the CGI been set to grab the data from
the form.
HTH.

Thanks, Nass. It's a small server/client application running on the same pc
under XP/IIS 5.0. Here is the post statement:
<form method="post" action="c:/cgi-bin/perl/autolog100104.pl" >
 
Does your Script has a debugger that can log error, try to turn ON for test
then you can Turn OFF after being sure the script is okay.
