Help!!! URL Ref in CGI

Kijori · Jan 29, 2002

hi again. i need to know what to put in the frame src of a html page generated by CGI.

here is my code for frameset creation...

sub printFrame {

print $q->header();

print <<End;

<html><head><title>Test Frames</title></head>

<frameset cols="40%,*">

<frame src="???" name="navi">

<frame src="???" name="target">

</frameset>

</html>
End

exit(0);
}

i want to display "contents.htm" in the navi frame and "main.htm" in the target frame. the files are located at a different folder from the "frames.cgi" script. for example...

C:\Apache\cgi-bin\Test\frames.cgi
C:\Apache\htmldocs\Test\contents.htm
C:\Apache\htmldocs\Test\main.htm

do you put the full path in the src value like

http://localhost/Test/contents.htm

(htmldocs is set to be the web page server folder in Apache) or just ../Test/contents.htm ???

i tried both ways... and it's a no-go. help!!!

src="/cgi-bin/Test/..."
src="/Test/main.html"

Either way should work using the

http://address

or the /Test/main.html.

The difference is that one is relative to the rooturl and the other is an absolute url. Using relative paths makes the code more portable.
