I took over management of a website and I was wondering how I could tell what language was used for the form processing. After entering information into a form the results is displayed on another page.

Take a look at the value of the 'action' attribute to the FORM element. The file extension will give you a clue.

That's assuming it's a scripting language. It could be a compiled (executable) file using CGI, written in any programming langauge which supports standard input/output.

JSP at 5th place? PHP is last! :mad:

You'll note that Perl is the penultimate. He must be using some random ordering.

Well then next time put Perl first, where is should be.
