[mod_python] Newbie needs help with forms

Jim,

I have to admit, I haven't used the FieldStorage class explicitly yet.

The way I access the form data is using the form attribute from the 
Request object.

See the documentation at: 
http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/node85.html


Try doing it like this:

(snip)
          for i in req.form.keys():
                  html_page.append(i)
(snip)
