Okay, Kevin, I've obtained CGI.pm (v3.25). I'm going to go see what I can figure out, but I may be back with more questions... I'm sure I'll thank you for the kick in the butt later :) Meghan

Greetings, I have a CGI script (in rudimentary Perl) that takes login name and password data, compares it to a database, and if it matches, prints one page, if no match, redirects back to the login page with an error message. This all works fine. My problem is that if one enters the location...

I'll have to wait until later in the day to try these out, TorontoJim, but I'm excited that the topic is back on the table. Thank you, PaulTEG and KevinADC, for getting it back out there. I'll let you know what works. So glad to have folks like you out there to call on for assistance! Meghan

Perfect! Thank you!

I use the following script to calculate the total amount due based on the amount ("invoice") entered in the form ("pay"). All works as needed, except that I need to be able to limit the results to two decimal places, preferably rounded as needed. What am I missing? Thank you, Meghan <script...

Hmm, should have specified. I get a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to open the .TXT file.

Kevin, Thank you for your quick response. I should have been more specific in my original post: While I'm able to access the .TXT file to populate my table, I am unable to successfully link to it. The .TXT file is a dynamic file, updated with form data via another CGI script (successfully)...

I have a CGI script that compiles .TXT database info into a table. I'd like to add a link to the page that forces the user to save the .TXT file when they select the link. I'm sure I'm missing something terribly obvious, but forest and trees and all, I'm just not seeing it. Why can't I...

Yes, that was it. I told you it was something stupid. That's what you get for trying to apply one program's logic to another. Thanks, Alan, I appreciate your shared wisdom. Meghan

I'm sure I'm missing something completely obvious, BUT... When I save an image for the web from Illustrator, I'm able to set the mat color and the image blends perfectly. When I export an image from CorelDraw v.12, I always get a border approximately 1px around the image, making it impossible...

Thanks, Duncan! Meghan

Duncan: Thank you. I ended up taking out the alert and close in the validation script I was using that Mark mentioned above and adding a redirect to the end of my CGI script that includes the content from the alert as well as a button to close the screen. Not quite as streamlined as I was...

Mark: Fabulous! I removed the window.close(), and all is right with the world again. Now, back to my last post: Is there a way to close the window from within my CGI script? I could do a redirect, but it seems so much cleaner to just close it. Thanks again!!! Meghan

Mark: The window.close() function was intentional. The form pops in a new window, and it seemed most logical to close it upon completion. Is there a better way to close the window from within the CGI script (You'll have to forgive my piecemeal knowledge; so far, I only know what little I've...

Kevin: Thank you for your response... I may call on you later for additional information on your side note (after I've made a decent attempt to learn more about your references on my own). Now, the plot thickens: I've determined that the script is now working as it ought to be when only the...
