Trouble with CGI code from Code Example 7.3 of the "Python Interactive CGI Tutorial"

Tue Aug 21 10:14:45 EDT 2007

Hey gang!

I'm having trouble with this script from a CGI lesson I'm working and
I can't seem to figure it out.  I was wondering if someone could tell
me what is wrong.  I've spent several hours trying to debug, but no
success.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Christopher
