'print' in a CGI app.
In a Python 2.2 app. running under CGI the statements
print "Hello\n" print "World" print both words on the same line in IE6. How do I print the second one on a new line (i.e. respect the \n in the first statement). Many thanks! |

This has nothing to do with Python... but hey :-) Unless your CGI script is set to content-type: text/plain, you're supposed to print valid HTML. You'll have more success if you print the following: print "<html><body>" # begin HTML print "<pre>" # HTML 'preformatted' block print "Hello\n" print "World" print "</pre>" # end 'preformatted block' print "</body></html>" # end HTML --Irmen |

Thanks to you, Timo, Dennis and Irmen. The <BR> trick was what I was using
but I thought I must be missing something.

Run the app, then go to "View"->"Source" in the browser. $10 says they are on separate lines. All browsers are expecting HTML output from CGI scripts. HTML ignores whitespace. The <br> tag comes in handy for forcing an endline: print "Hello<br>" print "World" |

If this is not what you want, set the 'Content-Type' HTTP header to something else, eg.: #!/usr/bin/python print 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8' print 'Hello' print 'World' -- Andrew Clover mailto:and@doxdesk.com http://www.doxdesk.com/ |
Re: 'print' in a CGI app.
This is a random guess, but try:
print "Hello<br>" print "World" "Andrew Chalk" <achalk@XXXmagnacartasoftware.com> wrote in message news:<ERcXa.1902$W63.925904037@newssvr30.news.prod igy.com>... > In a Python 2.2 app. running under CGI the statements > > print "Hello\n" > print "World" > > print both words on the same line in IE6.
