Weird CGI Error

[andyros]

Hey

I'm currently testing out the template toolkit package for use with displaying results from the swish-e search engine. The template file is an example one provided at

http://swish-e.org

The problem is that it displays nothing in the web browser but the script produces the code when i run it from command line...

I've noticed a few things:

- When 'view source' in the browser it prints everything except code inside the body tags.

- The code that is printed in the console has large spaces between.

I was just wondering weather this is a common problem?

Or something rooted in the template toolkit code? If so i'll chop it up and go through it a bit more.

thanks
andy

Template toolkit was written specifically for web page generation, so I'd be surprised if it's anything wrong with that. May be you are missing a CGI header?

What does "display nothing in the web browser" mean? Blank screen or an error message?

sorry guys, I've sorted the problem now.

display nothing in the web browser meant blank screen.
