Stefan,
I too had A LOT of trouble with JavaScripts , with Netscape. The original
code worked on IE but then when I tried Netscape here is what I had to do:
1) Any JavaScript I wanted to include from a separate file
...
my $csript = IncludeScript();
print $q->start_html(-title=>$title, -script=>$cript);
...
sub IncludeScript {
open SCRIPT_SRC, "Library/JavaScripts/ca_maintenance.js"
or dienice('Open(Scripts) - Failed');
my $JSCRIPT='';
while (<SCRIPT_SRC>) {
$JSCRIPT .= $_;
}
close SCRIPT_SRC;
return $JSCRIPT;
}
This looks just like the example in the CGI doc .... and ONLY way I could
get the source included !
2) in-line
...
print <<SCRIPT1A;
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
SCRIPT1A
print <<SCRIPT1B if $button1;
document.account_form.active_ind[$a].checked = true;
document.account_form.active_account_indicator.value='$b';
document.account_form.active_account_indicator_old.value='$c';
SCRIPT1B
print <<SCRIPT1C if $button2;
document.account_form.rep_approve[$d].checked = true;
document.account_form.client_rep_approved_ind.value='$e';
SCRIPT1C
print <<SCRIPT1D;
</SCRIPT>
SCRIPT1D
...
These are the ONLY ways I could get these two options to work w/Netscape ...
and yes I can end up with:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
</SCRIPT>
but that has not been a problem ....
3) Seems like if "onClick" script extents passed end of line I also line had
trouble if a "newline" was in source ... I had "logically" broken the script
"string" so I could read it easier ... but put it back as one long string
...
Hope this helps ... this represents a day's labor and many, many different
ways of trying ...
If anyone else has had experiences they could share I too would greatly
appreciate any suggestions or advise ...
jwm

Subject: running a Java Script from a CGI
This is a snip of code i have in a CGI. I am having trouble getting ANY
java script to run from within a CGI. I would appreciate some help with why
this isn't running right. I have looked on the web (do a search on google
with java in the box, hahaha) for a good resource to help me figure out how
to run other Java Scripts from within a CGI help with finding one would be
appreciated.

function NewWindow(mypage, myname, w, h, scroll) {
var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;
var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;
winprops =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+wint+',left='+winl+',scrollbars='+scroll+',r
esizable'
win = window.open(mypage, myname, winprops)
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) { win.window.focus(); }
}
