Cannot Get Form To Work

[Victor Subervi]

Oops. My bad. I did in fact have this line of code before calls to form:

form = cgi.FieldStorage()

I changed the except command from "pass" to "print sys.exc_info()" as per
your suggestion. Still, however, the form just renews itself without
offering any information whatsoever. You can see this here, if you like:

TIA,
