How do i print HTML <SCRIPT> tag

[Wunderbar]

Hi,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;I've tried printing HTML code using a perl script. It works if I put the actually javascript inside the &lt;SCRIPT&gt; tags but if I link the script tag to a javascript file, I get an error &quot;failed to execute send_form.js&quot;<br>Anyone know how to fix this?<br><br>This works:<br>&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE=&quot;TEXT/JAVASCRIPT&quot;&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;!-- Hide script from older browsers<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;function isNum(passedvalue) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (passedvalue == &quot;&quot<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;return true<br> <br> for (n=0; n &lt; passedvalue.length; n++) {<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;if ((passedvalue.charAt &lt; &quot;0&quot ¦¦ (passedvalue.charAt &gt; &quot;9&quot)<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return false<br> }<br> <br> return true;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;<br><br>but this doesn't:<br>&nbsp;&lt;SCRIPT src=&quot;send_form.js&quot;<br>LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE=&quot;TEXT/JAVASCRIPT&quot;&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/SCRIPT&gt; <br><br>Regards,<br>Hung

Hi Hung, what error are you getting if any?&nbsp;&nbsp;What happens when you run the script? <p>fortytwo<br><a href=mailto:will@hellacool.co.uk>will@hellacool.co.uk</a><br><a href=

Hi fortytwo,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, when i look at the error log, i get could not execute script. However, I've checked the read/write/execute permission and they are fine. I've ran the script fine using just an HTML file. Also,the javascript works fine if I use Perl and print the code of the javascript right right into the HTML page. But if I print the script tag with a &quot;src=..&quot; in it then the script fails. Is this because of my javascript or my Perl script?<br><br>Wunderbar

I would have thought it would have been because of your javascript.&nbsp;&nbsp;The script should give the browser a valid html page that can then have the javascript analysed. <p>fortytwo<br><a href=mailto:will@hellacool.co.uk>will@hellacool.co.uk</a><br><a href=

hey,

the problem that i believe is the problem lies in the &quot; . Perl is probably recognizing that and waiting for something to happen after or beofore it..instead of:

<SCRIPT src=&quot;send_form.js&quot;
LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE=&quot;TEXT/JAVASCRIPT&quot;>
</SCRIPT>

try:

print &quot;<SCRIPT src='send_form.js'
LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE='TEXT/JAVASCRIPT'>
</SCRIPT>&quot;;

always works for me Þ

Or, you could write it like this:

[tt] print &quot;<SCRIPT src=\&quot;send_form.js\&quot; LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE=\&quot;TEXT/JAVASCRIPT\&quot;>\n&quot;;


That should work.

Nice tip from Tom Anderson about quoting:

Using qq~~; means that you don't have to escape the quotes.

For example, you could write this:

print &quot;<input type=\&quot;text\&quot; name=\&quot;$name\&quot; value=\&quot;$value\&quot;>&quot;;

or this:

print qq~<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;$name&quot; value=&quot;$value&quot;>~;
