Send form data to CGI script

[joedarock]

Sorry for my scatterbrained mistake...my posting above is the working client HTML form , not the server script. Basically, I have to reproduce the functionality of the HTML code.

I got it working...the last remaining problem was in my server script...dooooh!

How can I get status information or the server script's 'Print' output?

I didn't familiar with CGI script, you can download other 'backend'(php/c#/Node.js/java) demo code from here.

http://www.crossui.com/download.html

Basically, you need to response some script in your CGI script, like
html code

<script type='text' id='json'>{"parentDomain":"http:\/\/localhost","data":[{"p1":"client_set","p2":"server_set","time":"2017-08-11 00:30:35","rand":"12-30-358y2zwikhzt5yqqt0s"}]}</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
    parent.postMessage(document.getElementById('json').innerHTML,'http://localhost'.replace( /([^:]+:\/\/[^\/]+).*/, '$1'));
</script>

Unvortunately, the server is a small embedded device on a closed industrial network and installing another scripting engine isn't possible. My server script can "Print" either plain text or HTML to the client's browser. Can one of those be used to generate a response and how can the client javascript receive it?

Essentially, the response script is text, which can be recognized as SCRIPT by the browser.

Let me be more specific:
in my CrossUI app, I have a pane with the file combo and submit button. This sends the selected file. That much works. How can I get feedback from the server script to appear in the pane?

1. When you uploaded finish, return html

<script type='text' id='json'>{"data":{"message":"ok"}}</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.postMessage(document.getElementById('json').innerHTML,'*');
</script>

2. If your xui code is:
xui.request(xxxxxx,{file:file},function(rsp){
xui.alert(rsp.data.message);
},function(errMsg){
xui.alert(errMsg)
}).start();

That will alert message "ok".

This worked...thanks a lot!
