Hello,
I've had this problem for 2 weeks now and have tried everything that I could
come up with, I would really appreciate your feedback. This is actually a
very basic task that I want to perfom with HTML forms but for some reason it
doesnt' seem to be working. I'm using apache on Windows XP.
I'm trying to send a DNA sequence from an HTML form to a cgi script located
in the cgi-bin of my apache server. Although I get to execute the cgi script
after pressing the "submit" button of the form, the sequence or any other
input doesn't seem to be passed to the script.
I have simplified the files and enclosed them here.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

print "Content-Type: text/html\n"
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
if (form.has_key("sequence")):
print "sequence recieved!"
print form["sequence"].value
else:
print "No sequence recieved!"
