My first page is
<html>
<head>
<title>Name Game</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Name Game</h1>
<form action="namegame.py">
<p>
Enter your name: <input type="text" name="name" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
My second .py page is
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
name = form["name"].value
print """Content-type: text/html
<html>
<head>
<title>Name Game</title>
</head>
<body>
"""
# print HTML body using form data
print "<h1>Name Game</h1>"
print "<dl>"
print "<dt>form["name"].value</dt>"
print "<dd> name </dd>"
print "<dt>Uppercase</dt>"
print "<dd>upper(form["name"].value)</dd>"
print "<dt>No spaces</dt>"
print "<dd></dd>"
print "<dt>No vowels</dt>"
print "<dd></dd>"
print "</dl>"
print "</body></html>"
I want to ask how come form["name"].value is invalid when it is loading the second page?? I just want to show form["name"].value to be the word that the person entered at the first page?? thank you very much
In the second .py page, the issue is with how you are using the `form["name"].value` syntax. To properly access the value entered in the form on the first page, you need to use the `name` variable that you have assigned to `form["name"].value`.
Here is the corrected code:
```python
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
name = form["name"].value
print """Content-type: text/html
<html>
<head>
<title>Name Game</title>
</head>
<body>
"""
# print HTML body using form data
print "<h1>Name Game</h1>"
print "<dl>"
print "<dt>Name</dt>"
print "<dd>", name, "</dd>"
print "<dt>Uppercase</dt>"
print "<dd>", name.upper(), "</dd>"
print "<dt>No spaces</dt>"
print "<dd>", name.replace(" ", ""), "</dd>"
print "<dt>No vowels</dt>"
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U']
no_vowels = ''.join([letter for letter in name if letter not in vowels])
print "<dd>", no_vowels, "</dd>"
print "</dl>"
print "</body></html>"
```
In this updated code, the `name` variable is used to display the value entered in the form using `<dd>` tags. Additionally, the `name.upper()` method is used to convert the name to uppercase, `name.replace(" ", "")` is used to remove spaces from the name, and `no_vowels` is assigned the value of the name with no vowels.
The issue you are encountering is related to how you are using the `form` object in your Python script.
In the HTML form on your first page, you have an input field with the name "name":
```
<input type="text" name="name" />
```
In your second Python script, you are attempting to access the value of this input field using `form["name"].value`:
```
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
name = form["name"].value
```
However, the error you are facing is because the `form` object does not directly support accessing fields by name using square brackets, as you have done here.
To correct this issue, you can modify your Python script to use the `getvalue()` method of the `form` object instead. Here's the modified code:
```python
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
name = form.getvalue("name")
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print "<html><head><title>Name Game</title></head><body>"
print "<h1>Name Game</h1>"
print "<dl>"
print "<dt>form['name'].value</dt>"
print "<dd>", name, "</dd>"
print "<dt>Uppercase</dt>"
print "<dd>", name.upper(), "</dd>"
print "<dt>No spaces</dt>"
print "<dd>", name.replace(" ", ""), "</dd>"
print "<dt>No vowels</dt>"
print "<dd>", "".join(char for char in name if char.lower() not in ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']), "</dd>"
print "</dl>"
print "</body></html>"
```
Now, the `name` variable will correctly hold the value entered in the text input field on the first page, and it will be displayed on the second page as expected.
