Guest Book

A guestbook allows visitors to leave their comments or other information, which can then be viewed and added to by other visitors. I can add a guestbook simply by pasting this code into my page.

<form action=/cgi-bin/guest method=post name=fhguest>
<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td align=right>Name:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=guest_name value='' maxlength=50></td></tr>
<tr><td align=right>Email:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=guest_email value='' maxlength=100></td></tr>
<tr><td align=right>HomePage:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=guest_URL value='http://' maxlength=100></td></tr>
<tr><td align=right>Where are<br>you from:</td><td><input type=text size=40 name=guest_address value='' maxlength=100></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top align=right>Comments:</td><td><textarea name=guest_comments rows=4 cols=40 wrap=virtual></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center>Type this 4 to 6 character security code <img name=auth_img src=''> into this box <input type=hidden name=auth_image value='' ><input type=text size=4 name=auth_code><br>
(This code prevents automated programs from adding entries to the guestbook.)</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td><input type=submit value='Submit My Information'><input type=reset value=Clear><input type='button' value='Home Page' onClick=location.href='http://carlosmenezes.mysite.com'></td></tr>
</table></form>
<SCRIPT>function setAuthCode() {
  c = new Array(8);
  for(i=0;i<8;i++){c[i]=Math.round(Math.random()*26)+65}
    authString = String.fromCharCode(c[0],c[1],c[2],c[3],c[4],c[5],c[6],c[7]);
    document.fhguest.auth_image.value = authString+".gif";
    document.auth_img.src = "/cgi-bin/authimage/"+authString+".gif";
} setAuthCode();</SCRIPT>
