Home: Need a Custom or Prewritten Perl Program?: I need a program that...: Edit a Web Page

MarineLife Deleted Apr 7, 2001, 6:49 AM Post #1 of 3 (545 views) Edit a Web Page Can't Post I have built a prog which makes a web page (file) from information (a poem, title, author etc.) that a user enters in a form. Next it displays that info by reading the file created. Now I would like to give the user the option of going back and editing or accepting this HTML page. Since the entered info is a form, the easiest way would be delete the file then hop a page back in his browser. Javascript:History(-1) solves the back problem BUT How can one delete the HTML file BEFORE the javascript is executed? (Accepting the poem simply takes the user to the "Thanks" html page.)

In the meanwhile you will be able to execute Javascript:History(-1) or whatever... Jean Spector QA Engineer @ Extent Technologies, Ltd. mage@lycosmail.com

If you just use your javascript back, you can just write over the html file when the form gets resubmitted. If they resubmit with changes, just remake the file as you would if it never existed.
