[dancer-users] Help with a POST

Fri Aug 7 15:47:49 BST 2015

Wait, Does this provide a clue to the error of my ways? This is the
template (user.tt) that I am using for the form.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>Get in the game.</h1>

<form>
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname">
<br>
Email Address:<br>
<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
User Password:<br>
<input type="password" name="psw">
<br>
User Confirm Password:<br>
<input type="password" name="psw2">
<br>
Terms & Conditions
<input type="checkbox" name="terms"> I agree with terms and conditions.<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>

<p>Note that the form itself is not visible.</p>

<p>Also note that the default width of a text field is 20 characters.</p>

</body>
</html>
