I've looked almost at all topic in delphi7 help files about creating cgis
and....
but i still dont get lots of things!
for example can i goto url like www.mysite.com or
www.mysite.com/something.html and my cgi applications/isapi then works?or
should it be always like www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/my.cgi or
www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/something.dll ?
i simply want to have a html and a editbox and when user click on button it
send all lines in editbox to my program i do something on text and print
result in html for user!any helps?
by the way where can i find some basic tutorials on web application
programming with delphi?

Good luck,

The html page with the edit box can be anywhere, so you could have
www.mysite.com etc.
The only thing you must do is point the form's (that has the edit box)
action to the cgi/isapi
<form name="myform" method="post" action="/pathto/mycgi.exe">
Your cgi/isapi must be in a folder that has execute permissions set in iis
(this can be the root folder of the site if you wish).
