Rahul, If I understand you correctly, you want to have lots of links that open new framesets, without creating a new frameset document for each page to be opened. If that's correct, then don't worry, it's not at all off topic! The general principal is this: You make all the links go to the same

Andrew, If your web-server is set up correctly, then no files in the cgi-bin should be able viewable. I have .txt files in my cgi-bin, but if I try to view them with a browser, I get a "No such file or directory" error. Even if I try to ftp://mysite.com/cgi-bin/file.txt I still can't see it. Ha

use strict

I have a seperate config file in which I define all of my variables. (because I'm making a program using several scripts with many common vars) I was under the impression that by initiating the variable (even in a seperate file) 'use strict' would be happy. However, when I run the script, I get l

Re: help with open function

Also note that the file path is relative to the script that is being run, not where your perl executable is. e.g. if perl is at e:\perl\bin\perl.exe and your script is at e:\scripts\myScript.cgi and the file is e:\workflow.txt then the path needs to read open("Workflow", "..\workflow.txt")

Re: "\n" in Perl

This is because you're viewing the output in a web-browser. If you look at the source code it sends to the browser, you'll see that it does actually say Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello But the browser doesn't care about that, it's reading the HTML, so it needs a to create a line break. So do: fo

If you use an address such as "report.css" then the .css file must be in the same folder as the cgi script (usually "/cgi-bin"). If it's not use an address such as "/report.css" for the root of the web server. Or "/path-to-script/report.css". Carl -- >From: Jeremy Webster <[EMAIL PROTECT
