I see Greg and I think alike. I just finished working on some possible changes to the CD and DVD Project Page at gutenberg.org. I haven't added my changes to the actual page yet, however. I would appreciate any feedback. You can see the updated page at http://www.gutenberg.org/cdproject/test.php . I'm especially interested in comments on the page layout. Obviously, being blind, I don't have much of an eye for kin esthetics. :) The only section I updated was the part about how to request a free disc. After writing all that, I'm wondering if it wouldn't just be a whole lot easier to use a web form. I have a sample form setup for taking a persons request. Anyone who would care to test it (I.E. attempt to get it to choke on a bad entry or similar) is welcome to do so. Just write "test" or something similar in the comments field, so I'll know to ignore them. Also, if you test with a fake e-mail address, make sure it's something that's not likely to be valid and owned by someone, as the program does generate automatic replies. Finally, please note that you will only be able to test with each E-mail address once, because the program screens out duplicate requests from the same address. The forms are at http://gutenberg.org/testing/dvdreq-int.html for the international form and http://gutenberg.org/testing/dvdreq-usa.html for the US only form. Have fun.

The US form has two problems: 1) It should be "verify" instead of "varify" 2) It happily accepts a six-digit zip code; there should be at least basic input verification on all required fields.

Thanks. #1 has been fixed. #2 will take some doing as I'm not as familiar with perl as I should be, but will get done. We do have some simple data verification, but not a lot. Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 02:04 AM 10/3/2004, you wrote:
