CGI cannot get the Value after click the button. URGENT!!!

Hi Everyone,

I am facing a problem, regarding cgi cannot receive the value from HTML after click submit. Here is the code

===============================================
#!/bin/bash
genHTML()
{
cat <<-__EOF__
Content-type: text/html
<html>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function trim(str)
{
str = str.replace( /^\s+/g, "" );// strip leading
return str.replace( /\s+$/g, "" );// strip trailing
}
-->
</script>
<body>
<form name=loginForm id=loginForm method=post action="login.cgi">
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="LabelStyle1">LOGIN</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>User ID: </b>
<input type=text name=username value="" size="15"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="blank">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="blank">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td class="userPass">Password</td>
<td><input id="pwd" class="inputText" type="password" size="15" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="blank">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr><td align=center>
<font color=red size="+6"><b>$ErrorMessage</b></font>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><font size=+1><input type=submit
name=btnLogin value="Login"></font>
</td>
<td><input type="button"
value="Clear" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="blank">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
__EOF__
}


echo "username=$username" >> aa.log

if [ "$username" == "123" ]
then
ErrorMessage="INVALID USER ID"
genHTML
elif [ "$username" == "333" ]
./nextpage.cgi
else
genHTML
fi
===========================================


I just wan to get the USERNAME name after the user key and click the button. But, USERNAME is empty that show in the log, seen like after click it will refresh to clear the USERNAME again. Do you know how to get the value after click the button? So, it can do the checking to display error message in the same page or run to other page. My purpose is just wan to know how to get the value after user key in then enter without clear the USERNAME.

Thank you

Use CODE-tags when posting code, data or logs to enhance readability and to preserve formatting like indention etc., ty.

Also, urgent stuff should be posted here:

CGI form values will not automagically become variables in your receiving shell script. According to CGI specification, you need to parse $QUERY_STRING for GET, or read from standard input for parsing POST data.

Unfortunately, unlike environments such as Perl and PHP, you will need to do all this messy things yourself.

Something like this (untested as I don't use bash for CGI):
