It is NOT the same error. There are NO syntax errors in the script, there

Well, I thought that, but you know what happens to newbies who come
out with such opinions forcefully. Maybe they have special magic perl
which parses python.
I see from the source code on your page that you have a line:
<TEXTAREA NAME="essay" COLS=60 ROWS=20 WRAP=HARD></TEXTAREA>
You have two lines in your cgi script:
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
print form["essay"].value
Having never done cgi programming, I'm not sure what the problem is, but
after reading help(cgi) I'll take a stab in the dark and say try this:
print form.value
It might also help for you to try this:
print form.keys()
Both give me the same ISE, alas.
Good luck with the "admins" at your hosting company.
Well, it *is* free, and there aren't that many free ones that offer
Python. My paid-for host has sent me a message to say they're
ruminating on my issues, though, so I live in hope.
