When i input some text in edit box of an html and press submit button

ouput....
Thanks in advance

You need to configure your webserver so that it knows to execute the
CGI instead of serving it as text.

How you do that depends on the webserver software you run. Consult the
manual for it.

This group is for the discussion of HTML and configration of an IIS server
would be off-topic. Google or try one of the microsoft.public.inetserver
groups.
