19.14. Program: chemiserie

The CGI script in Example 19.9 lets people order t-shirts and sweaters over the Web, using techniques described in Recipe 19.12 . Its output isn't elegant or beautiful, but illustrating the multiscreen technique in a short program was challenging enough without trying to make it pretty as well.

The shirt and sweater subroutines check their widget values. If the user somehow submits an invalid color or size, the value is reset to the first in the list of allowable colors or sizes.

Example 19.9: chemiserie
