Can anybody tell me what I have done wrong? When I click on "rate it" I get a message saying "unknown tag: title" I have looked everywhere and cannot find the answer. Thanks in advance for your help.

Field names and Tags are CASE SENSITIVE. You need to use <%Title%> NOT <%title%> in your rate_success.html template file.

Sorry to trouble you again, but it still will not work, I have changed it back to what it was, which is this,

site_title => $build_site_title, this is in "site_html_templates.pl" globals

<TITLE><%site_title%> : Rate It</TITLE> this is in "rate.html"

<TITLE><%site_title%> : Rate It - Success</TITLE> this in "rate_success.html"

what happens is, when I put the mouse over the "rate it" link on one of my links I get "http://www.backpackingmall.com/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?ID=15" in the status bar,(the ID# changes) but when I click on it I get a blank page with just "Unknown Tag:title" on it. I do not have a clue what I have done wrong. I hope you can help me with this one. Thanks in advance

You are confusing tags...<%Title%> is used for the LINK title that is being rates and <%site_title%> is the DIRECTORY title. Check your template files AGAIN!

Thanks very much it was that, sorry I missed it first time, now that works great but when I click "rate it" it goes to the right page but this comes up

"Please rate the link Gossamer Threads Links between one and ten, with ten being tops"

with "Gossamer Threads Links" as the text for the link instead of the site that I wanted to rate (It did link to the correct site I wanted to rate, it just got the wrong name). Again many thanks in advance, As a complete utter knownothing about CGI I do enjoy playing with it but after about three weeks fiddling I am afraid I am wearing myself out and without your help and the other posts on these forums I am sure I would have given up by now. Once again thank you.

Looks like you're still confused. 'Gossamer Threads Links' is the default value for the <%site_title%> tag. Make sure you are using the <%Title%> tag in rate.html.

Happy Coding,
