Even easier:

cgi.form() seems to just return a String - see that snippet I sent earlier:


 formString =   cgi.form(method="get") {
      cgi.text_field("key") +
      cgi.text_field("value") +
      cgi.submit("add")
      }
  
You should be able to work on formString like any other String,
remove any garbage that got in there, then just puts() it to the browser.
