I am making my own guestbook...

...so what do I need to put in my .cgi or .pl file? I figured I need the following pages-

/guestbook.htm - For writing the entry in;
/entries.htm - The page of submitted entries;
/guestbook.pl - The page that the readers entry goes to;

Any help appreciated!

you are using frontpage, right?
there is a guestbook template, then change the layout to fit your site

it will have a form to submit and then it contains another file that will be included underneath the form, this will work as long as you are hosted on a server with FP ext.

you can test it locally, install (add/remove programs > windows programs (on xp/2000)) ISS, then go get this FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 and install it

publish you site to the local server and you can test everything on you local machine before uploading

the actual path will be like: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/[your site name]
in the browser type in http://localhost/[your site name]
