Add the onload command to the body tag of the HTML and spawn a new window (javascript) with the target Perl script.
Example: <body onload="window.open('http://target.pl');"> Regards, Ross mario sanchez <[EMAIL PROTECTED] edu> To Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] perl-unix-users-b e.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc ctiveState.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject [Perl-unix-users] CGI 03/08/2004 04:06 AM i would like to call http://www.whatever.com/xyz.html where AUTOMATICALLY xyz.html runs a perl script. i have asked this question in the past and the best answer afforded was to call xyz.cgi where the script first reads and "displays" xyz.html then goes off and does whatever else i needed. i cant use this option. does anyone have an idea of how this can be done - again where the script is invoked automatically? thanks a bunch!! mario _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs ========================================================= This message has been scanned for viruses by AUSTAR Communication's antivirus and content checking applications.
