Hello!

I'm doing some homework for my university and I would like my homework to be accessed remotely as well.

I have already port formwarded and I can access my webpage but when I press submit from a Remote IP my webpage does not work correctly because there's a mistake in the form action code line and I do not know how to correct that.

 

Here's the HTML code

 

 I want to correct the form action line in order for my webpage to work correctly from other clients as well

<!-- A form for selection a of a continent. Selection to be sent by POST -->
<HTML>
<HEAD>
   <TITLE>Cookie will be written in our disc</TITLE> 
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"
                                                                                                                         METHOD="POST">      
      <STRONG>Select the Continent of your Destination:<br> </STRONG>
      <PRE>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="Europe">check here for Europe<BR>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="Asia">check here for Asia<BR>
 <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="America" CHECKED>check here for America<BR>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent"  VALUE="Africa">check here for Africa<BR>
      </PRE>
      <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
      <INPUT TYPE="reset"> </P>
   </FORM>
</BODY>
 
</HTML>

If you want it online so that it can be accessed by anyone you will need to setup a web server. There are much quicker solutions such as: http://bowery.io which sets up a dev environment in 30 seconds and gives u a web accessible URL... if you are not experienced with servers and web dev stuff you will need to read up on the docs... or better yet a few dollars for a host account and host it online.

If I change my 

<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo">

to 

< <FORM ACTION="http://myhostname.com:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"

 

It will work but it won't work on my hostname

Setup your router and apache server config to make your localhost a public ip server.

 

So first make sure you're using port 80 instead of 8080 then test if you can connect with another device on the same wifi network to your computer ip"*

Then forward your pc ip to your public ip**

 

 

 

*192.168.1."something" in most cases

**63.233.34.12 looks like this

 

 

If you got a hostname(example.com) make sure to point it to your pc ip address, this can be done with a A record.

<form action="/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"  method="POST">

That should do it. Starting a URL with / makes it relative to the current host root.

 

And please use lowercase HTML elements, it looks much better and is a convention. If you start using developer tools you'll notice everything is lowercase too, even if you write it uppercase in your HTML.

      A few things I am wondering about for S3: A.  What's Pike doo gonna look like this time around....yea I've watched the trailers & it looks poofed up, but still.... B. When will the unintelligible, physco-babbling Pelia go away (or at least learn how to speak English properly, without that crappy, slurred accent that sounds like she's on crack, Mary Jane, & LSD at the same time) ?  Hopefully Scotty's arrival will mean her departure is near.... C.  When do we get to see more of the stunningly gorgeous No. 1, preferably in regular/civilian clothes that show off her physical attributes better ? D. Is Spock EVER gonna get laid properly, human style ?  I feel certain that Christine could make any Vulcan-human horizontal bomp a thing to remember for a LONG time  E.  Can we PLEEEEEEZE get rid of the hatchet-head/buzz cut hair styles on Ortega & anyone else that has it....  But otherwise, as Pike says:  HIT IT !

      RIP Hotlips..... IMHO, her best scenes were the few where she dared to let her REAL feminine side show through from underneath all that crappy, worn-torn soldier facade that she had to keep up with...she instantly lit up every room or situation where she was featured !

      Since it's been quite a while since the last episode aired, would it be fair (or cruel) to refer to Peggy as a MILF, or even a SMILF ?  HAHAHAHAHAHA
