AI Thread Summary
To enhance the readability of emails generated from a web form, using a CGI script in languages like Perl or Python is recommended. This approach allows for the conversion of form data into a more structured format, improving clarity without the need for external parsing programs. Embedding Java directly in HTML for this purpose is not practical; instead, server-side scripting is the preferred method for formatting email content effectively.

OK, so I know how to make a form show itself in a website, how to make a submit button which will send the data entered as an email and I successfully receive the email. There's only one problem... How do I make the mail readable?? I was forced to make a pascal program which parses the mail and changes it into readable text, but that's not very practicle although successful. How do I program the HTML to send something more sensible? Can I embed a java program in the HTML which will do the trick?

HELP!

Use a CGI script (perl, python, etc.) running on the server to convert the form's contents into whatever format you'd like.

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
