<form action = "/cgi-bin/textarea.py" method = "post" target = "_blank"> <textarea name = "textcontent" cols = "40" rows = "4"> Type your text here... </textarea> <input type = "submit" value = "Submit" /> </form>
The result of this code is the following form −
Below is textarea.cgi script to handle input given by web browser −
#!/usr/bin/python
# Import modules for CGI handling
import cgi, cgitb
# Create instance of FieldStorage
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
# Get data from fields
if form.getvalue('textcontent'):
text_content = form.getvalue('textcontent')
else:
text_content = "Not entered"
print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
print "<html>"
