Reading HTML Pages with perl
Hi Jim. There are a couple of ways to do this, depending on what you are trying to do with reading the html. First, if you are just wanting to get at the data that someone has entered into fields on your html page, I'd suggest calling the function &readParse, which is located in CGI.pm. This... -
help on finding if a server program has finished running
Hi Zaphbrox. Looks like you are not getting much help on this post. Unfortunately, I am not able to help you either. But after reading your post, I thought perhaps you could help me. I am writing a Perl script that is supposed to kick off when our server receives a file of any name into a... -
Way to remove top window bar that has "X" for close?
Thank you doublehelix. I suspected that not being able to close that window would be a source of frustration to users. And that was the reason there were no options to disable that part of the toolbars. But I always have to ask the sometimes obvious questions. :-) I have to congratulate...- Kathy1

Way to remove top window bar that has "X" for close?
Hi All. Just wondering if there is a way to disable or remove the very top bar of a window that has the "X" for closing option, along with the dash to shrink the window down to the toolbar, and the double-windows to resize it to the original size. Or, is there a way to disable these...- Kathy1

Can Perl call a VB program or vice versa?
Thank you Mike. We may attempt this. I'll have to see if the VB programmer can do this for us. Kathy :-) -
Can Perl call a VB program or vice versa?
Hi All. We have some Visual Basic subroutines that access a DB2 database (read/write) and a sequential text file(write). I'm creating some new applications in Perl, and they need use functions exactly like the ones we already have in VB. Is it possible for me to call VB functions from a Perl... -
Perl debugger question
...HTML form - at least in our system 96% of them are web-page activated. Has anyone else run across this situation, and is there a debugger out there that works with web-page activated Perl scripts? We are running on an NT server and Windows 98 platforms. Thanks for your help. Kathy *:->* -
no caching .js files
Hi Vituz. I have a question about your solution to the problem. It seems to make pefect sense for the most part, but can you explain to me (sorry for my ignorance) what pulling a random number and appending it to the end of the file name will do for us? Or does that "?" have some...- Kathy1

no caching .js files
Kristof, I will try that option. I would like to know, though, if there is an option that will know enough to pull the new .js files if they are actually new, otherwise get them from cache. I think that is what the browser I'm using is attempting to do now, but it isn't smart enough to...- Kathy1

no caching .js files
Thank you Paul. However, I'm not using ASP. Will this work with straightforward HTML and Javascript? If so, where would I code it - it doesn't look like Meta tags. Kathy X-)- Kathy1

no caching .js files
Hi Edelwater. We are having a similar problem to the one you describe. Our system consists of HTML, Perl, Javascript internal to the HTML, and several external Javascript .js files. We are having alot of problems when we need to change the external .js files, as the changes don't always...- Kathy1

problem with a regex erroring on $1 variable
HTH: Thank you for your suggestion...I will try changing things a little. Let me explain more clearly what I'm doing. In the variable $varFirstName, I'm assigning a name field which can occur multiple times, coming in from my HTML page. The field is kept in a hash named %in, which is updated... -
problem with a regex erroring on $1 variable
I'm having problem with the regex in the following bit of code: #capitalize the first character of the first name $varFirstName = ("First_Name" . $nameSub); $in{$varFirstName} =~ s/\b(\w)/\U$1/g; It is giving me this error: [Fri Jun 15 07:04:08 2001] C:\prod\nameUpdate.pl: Use of... -
perl and frames
If the 'target=' option doesn't work, you could try using Javascript to write the form values from frame1 (where your customers are entering information) into hidden fields in frame2 (where you want the new form to show), then have that same script in frame1 submit the frame2 to call your Perl... -
program occasionally sticking - place of stick inconsistent
Hi everyone. Just wanted to clean up this thread - finally. We had our tech services people un-install Perl and re-install it. We have had no sticky problems since this was done - about 6 weeks ago. So, the problem has been resolved, and obviously it was either something in the original... -
goto statement in Javascript?
Hi Tsdragon. I am used to coding mainframe COBOL, which often uses the 'goto' statement to get out of a subroutine by going to the subroutine 'exit' in specific situations. What we are doing is converting COBOL mainframe insurance policy rating systems into Javascript, HTML, Perl, and SQL for...- Kathy1

simple regular expression
Thank you iza. Between changing that, and getting the double-quotes out of 'issuedornot' string, as Javascript doesn't like doublequotes within doublequotes, it is now working. Here is the working code for anyone who is interested in using regular expressions in a Javascript on a button...- Kathy1

simple regular expression
Hi All. I'm trying to create what I thought would be a simple search pattern using a Javascript regular expression. However, it just won't work, even though similar expressions I've coded in Perl work just fine. Here is my code: <INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="Continue2"...- Kathy1

program occasionally sticking - place of stick inconsistent
Hi all. Thanks for all of your suggestions on the sticky problem. The test system still sticks. I put in some code to take care of i/o buffering, added exit(0) to the end of all the programs, $STH->finish; to the DB2 reads/writes/updates/deletes, and lots of other little tweaking to the... -
File read into program isn't all there
Thanks goboating. I will play with it and see if it at least resolves the screens not fully loading into the browser problem.
