quick frames question

[dulux]

Hi all,

I have a CGI script that produces a simple page containing 1 frame ( I am actually using <iframe>.)

Within this I am using 'target=&quot;xxxx.cgi&quot;'. However, the CGI script that I am calling does not execute - I either get to see the code or nothing at all. I know the CGI script I am calling into the frame works - it only says 'howdy'.

I am using Windows 2000 running latest Apache - just for test purposes. Any ideas?

To my mind &quot;Target&quot; is an anchor (<A>) attribute to determine in wich frame or window the linked page is to be loaded. Its allowed values are &quot;_blank&quot;, &quot;_top&quot;, ...
Try to replace &quot;Target&quot; by &quot;src&quot; if your talking about iframe attribute. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)

Thanks for the quick reply -

That worked to a certain degree - I can now see the code as opposed to a blank frame.

Still not executing the script, though. I have been through all my books and other resources - but this is not mentioned in any detail. I get the feeling this is a simple problem, though...

do you mean you see the source code of your page into the iframe instead of the HTML result of it ? Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

I can see the source code of 'howdy.cgi' as opposed to the line 'Howdy!'.

Yes, the source code is viewed within the iframe.

Sorry, I misread your last question.

Thanks guys, I solved it myself.

I was using a path to 'howdy.cgi' on my local machine rather than just using src=&quot;howdy.cgi&quot;.

Works fine now, on to the complicated stuff!
