Dear Tim,
Thank you very much!!!
as it turned out I hadnt put the exception so when the field was empty
it raised an error.like you said!
I have a couple more question as I am not experienced in this. could
you please tell me where do I save my HTML form?in the same file as my
python program? also the s and q in the code sample you provided does q
represent the form name & the s what? or are they just variables?
Now using the sample cgi script you suggested, if I wanted to use that
text that was taken from the HTML to be placed in a certain location in
the pdf assuming the HTML form has is a textarea I tried this:
q = cgi.FieldStorage()
if q.has_key('Page2'):
s = q['Page2'].value
else:
s = None
c.setFillColor(colors.white)
c.rect(111.5*mm,37*mm,85*mm,100*mm, fill = 1)
c.saveState()
story = []
c.translate(111.5*mm,37*mm)
c.rotate(180)
f = Frame(-85*mm, -100*mm, 85*mm,100*mm, showBoundary=0)
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
styleN = styles['Normal']
story.append(Paragraph((s),styleN))
f.addFromList(story,c)
c.restoreState()
but I am getting an attribute error: 'None Type' object has no
attribute 'split'
in the file paragraph.py line 376&397&51 also in string.py line 122.
please advice with code also if you can.
thank you again.

ive made a tool using reportlab but it requires the text to be
imported
from the html form.im using CGI for that but I am getting a key error
due to the cgi.py module in python which is raising an exception

python/reportlab code to the html form does anyone have an idea or
advice?
I have used the same input names as in the html form.

You will have to be much more specific. Including snippets of code
and the
exact error message are a must.
However, it is much more likely that you have a cgi problem, not a
ReportLab
problemn. We might want to redirect this to comp.lang.python.
The cgi.py module can be a bit picky. Your capitalization must match
exactly; if the form has:
<<input type=text name=MyText>
then you must use
q = cgi.FieldStorage()
s = q['MyText'].value
Also note that if you do not fill in a field, the field name will not
appear
in the FieldStorage object at all. That's a common error.
Fortunately, it's
easy to check for that:
if q.has_key('MyText'):
s = q['MyText'].value
else:
s = None
