i hate html

[jred321]

ok so i'm trying to generate an html page from a perl script, but all input types show up as text boxes. here is the code:

	PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
	 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

[b] Payment Method: [/b]


       
          
       Visa 


       
          
         Master Card 


         
          
         Discover 


       
          Check

looks like it says "radio", "submit" and "reset" for type there to me, why does it show up as a text box?

Why do you have a space after a leading quote?


Change all "[" to "<" and "]" to ">"

[input type="radio" name="payment" value="V" checked]Visa
[br]]input type="radio" name="payment" value="MC"]MasterCard
[br][input type="radio" name="payment" value="D"]Discover
[br][input type="radio" name="payment" value="C"]Check Card

<table>
<tr>
<td valign="center" align="left">
<input type="radio" name="payment" value="V" checked> Visa
<br><input type="radio" name="payment" value="MC"> MasterCard
<br><input type="radio" name="payment" value="D"> Discover
<br><input type="radio" name="payment" value="C"> Check Card
</td>
</tr>
</table>

i have no idea, i copied the basic page from the one my teacher made and he uses leading quotes, but his works

 

[jred321]

yep that's all it was. i hate html, so simple, yet so annoying

 

[jred321]

thanks jersey

His page is wrong. The space after the first quote in

type =" radio"

is what the problem is. It HAS to be "radio", not " radio"


" radio" != "radio"

BTW your teacher writes horrible code

 

[jred321]

yea, but his shows up right which is weird. to get that code there i just copied and pasted it because what we were working on was another part of the page, which is why it didn't cross my mind

 

[jred321]

BTW your teacher writes horrible code

oh im well aware, he's crazy too and tells all these weird stories randomly in the middle of class

your page doesnt work all the way i just tried to order me some popcorn, and it didnt total it or nothing. are you tying this to a db?

 

[jred321]

haha, no it's just tied to another simple perl script. i haven't updated that one yet soon you'll be able to order popcorn

the script used to have set options that you could pick, now it reads types of popcorn and prices from a .dat file. real tough

 

[wannabe]

cool. just wanted to make sure my ridiculous order was going somewhere

 

[jred321]

haha, now you can order as much as you want, it should work now, and i added more options, check it out

 

[wannabe]

(cool) worked that time.

 

[jred321]

haha, i had you up there as an option for a bit but i turned it in so i took you off
