Using Forms and Form Processors

[joepd]

I am an Adjunct, teaching "Doing Business on the Internet" Thought I'd give an exam using a form since the server I use Ipage has a form processor capability.

the test can be seen at http://www.grampslist.biz/Prof/ole2.html.  When the form is filled out and submitted, answers are all over the place and any HTML that is entered does not show up.  Can anyone help,  Thanks.

html code can be used to hack a database, so the form is cleaning out the tags. It is possible to submit html tags to the database by converting the tags to entity equivalents, but you may not be able to do that using a form builder as you are.

Thank you, yes I tried )) and ok but really not as literal as < >. The

work around I used was to require all HTML answers to be preceded by <!--

and ended with -->. Its still a mess. Too bad..
