I have one test.html: <form action=/cgi-bin/test.py method=GET> <input type=text name=search> <input type=submit value=Submit> </form>

I have one test.html:

<form action="/cgi-bin/test.py" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="search">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<div id="res"></res>

And one python script test.py:

#....
print Result
#....

I want instead of printing result on the test.py, return it to the test.html and write it in the div with id res… How I can do that?

    <form id="myform">
<input id="my_text">
<button id="submit_btn">
</form>
<div id="result">
</div>
<script>
//you need to use jquery for this part
$("#submit_btn").click( function() {
    $("#result").load("/path/to/cgi?my_text="+$("#my_text").val())
})
</script>

    something like that… (this is real hacky 1 minute post that is untested so it may need some work …

    your question really has nothing to do with python … it is just web technology question … it would be the same if it was a php or C# or whatever processing the form data

    it has nothing to do with python because it doesnt matter how you are processing the form data … this is just web technology it would work exactly the same with a perl script instead of a python script or with a C# instead of python or whatever … you want to return some data back to a web page … how you got the data is really not relevant

    <html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="someother.html" method="get">
<input id="my_text">
<input type="button" id="my_button" value="click me">
</form>
<div id="result">

</div>
<script>
$("#my_button").click(function(){
     $("#result").load("");
})
</script>
</body>
</html>

    here is an example … just paste it into a file.html and go to it and click the button …
    its just loading its self load("") so it should duplicate the data thats on the page when you click it …
