Lab 32 Hand code a form

Before you do this lab, you must understand what is CGI(Common Gateway Interface) and Form.

1. So please search the answer and post your opinion in your blog.
2. Hand code a HTML or use KompoZer to edit an HTML so that the webpage can send a request to Google like
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=24.9586,+121.24114

Use Form CGI that includes action, input, and submit.
Try a few different coordinates.

Lab 31 Lab Form and Action

How to use Form to invoke a remote service through CGI.

1. Copy the search box of this search page,
inlcuding radio buttons, text input, and submit button.
2. Open your KompoZer HTML editor.
3. Open a new empty HTML file.
4. Paste the search box into this new file.

5. Use KompoZer to add a Form to this search box. Do not hand code the HTML. Just fill the blank in the Form dialog.

6. In the form dialog, set Action="http://google.com/search" and name of Form as "f" and method as "get"
(See Hint if it does not work.)
