How to use Form to invoke a remote service through CGI.

1. Copy the search box of this search page,
inlcuding radio buttons, text input, and submit button.
2. Open your KompoZer HTML editor.
3. Open a new empty HTML file.
4. Paste the search box into this new file.

5. Use KompoZer to add a Form to this search box. Do not hand code the HTML. Just fill the blank in the Form dialog.

6. In the form dialog, set Action="http://google.com/search" and name of Form as "f" and method as "get"
(See Hint if it does not work.)
7. Save your file on your computer. Run your HTML by Firefox. What do you get?

8. Set method as "post"
9. Run your HTML by Firefox. What do you get?

當METHOD是GET的時候，網頁在火狐中可以搜尋，如下面兩圖。

當METHOD改為POST的時候，將會搜索失敗產生ERROR，如下面兩圖。
