guestbook script with totally definable required fields, confirmation and validation of user input. Optional email thank you and notification, option for HTML filtering. Newer entries shown first with older entries viewable by following a link at the bottom of the page.

simple guestbook that uses a DBM file to store the data entered by visitors (name, e-mail, URL of website, comment). This script uses the Perl Module WebForm.pm for input validation and the HTML output methods provided by Lincoln Stein's CGI module.

guestbook entries are stored in a log file and the HTML is created on the fly, when the guestbook is called with a browser. There is error checking built in, a page counter, and file locking so two people can't write to the file at the same time.

Self Installer. Once uploaded, this self installer (critique_color.cgi) will allow you to set font, font colors, table background colors, page background color & graphic, header graphic and more. Instead of manually editing the actual script, web pages and style sheets, this script addition along with critique_create.cgi will create all the necessary files and place them where they need to be giving a uniform look to your critique book.
Addition of copyright stamp.
Addition of 'required' fields (no longer will you have blank entries in your critique book.
HTML Ripping. No HTML entries be allowed in your book (I know.. you're really bummed, you LIKE it when someone links a 3MB graphic to your critique book).
Other miscellaneous fixes and updates.
NOTE: When running critique_color.cgi in some older browsers the screen (other than the entry boxes) will be completely black (hard to read black on black, no?). You can either upgrade to a newer browser, or: select the text (left click your mouse and drag through the page, not releasing the button, this will highlight the text) to find the appropriate box to change the background color, place '#FFFFFF' in the box (without the apostrophe's), then choose the 'check it' submit button (this will update the page changing the background color to white so you can now see the text).

the script to create, edit and generate pages came from homepage maker script, originally written by dave palmer. i've adapted it to process guestbooks and i've also added the page deletion capability. , provide color selections and accept parameters for controlling email acknowledgement and retention rules
