Example 2

This example is the same as the first example, with the exception of the CGI option "VF_Verify" now uses a URL.
This will allow the user response page to be reformatted prior to showing the user. To accomplish the formatted response page a template will be needed to merge the results from the form page.

The response template will need to include all the input field names used in the main form. This allows the CGI to pass along the data that it acquired from the calling form.

Some of the original HIDDEN fields that were in the first form can be removed an just added to the response form, as will be show below. With the exception of the REQUIRED field names.

The response page will have to have one SPECIAL tag name. The tag name is "ACCEPT" an this must be used with the INPUT statement that uses the type="SUBMIT". This allows the CGI to identify that there is no more form input an that the results can now be forwarded along.
