I have a html file contains a form asking user to select a choice and press enter to pass the data to server.
In server there, i have a cgi script(C language) that accepts the input from browser and then output a html page to browser.
The browser should open the page, but it didn't, instead, it prompt me to save the file(.cgi file i requested in form method)....

<h1>Forms Page 1</h1>
This page is an example of a forms page with a submit button. This is the
first of 2 forms pages. Both pages call the same script. How does the
script know which page has been used?
<p />
<form action="assign2.cgi" method="get">
<p />
Select a sound you want to hear :<br />
Train sound<input type="RADIO" name="sound" value="train" checked />
Yes sound <input type="radio" name="sound" value="yes" />
<p />
<input type="RESET" value="Reset" />
<input type="SUBMIT" value="Next" name="form1" />
</form>
</body> </html>
