yes, the cgi may be complex ... but i like the idea.
it would make it so much foolproof..

now, how about javascript code to do it in the browser?

it would certainly work, but how does one "output" a bunch of text
(an album) from javascript when the user prints DONE?
(i'm no javascript genius, to put it midly).

i once got one of those jokes that ask you to input various
answers one by one, so it must be possible.

it may even be nice to do it thumbnail per page...
