Re: Why am I getting a Javascript file instead of my servlet ?
Sounds like you may have a: script language=JavaScript src=filename.js statement in your returned HTML code.. and the .js file can not be found... hope that helps.

Can anyone suggest ways to find out what is going wrong ?

RE: Why am I getting a Javascript file instead of my servlet ?
First suggestion: Eliminate the JavaScript. Our developers (myself included) have had plenty of problems with variables named action resetting the URL that the form posts to. Also, try posting to different things - a non-existent HTML file to start with and check what URL is requested. This should help you track down whether its client side or server side that is messing things up.

JavaScript itself isn't too bad. It's very useful to add interaction to
a page.
Just don't try having a JavaScript variable named item when using Internet
Explorer.

I wasn't saying JavaScript was bad or should be gotten rid of - I was
suggesting dumping all of the JavaScript as a first step to figuring out
where the problem is (division of one large problem into areas to limit the
amount of code to be examined).

RE: Why am I getting a Javascript file instead of my servlet ?
From my experience you might be facing this problem with Netscape browser. If you try the same with explorer you may not face this problem. This is only one possibility I know. There may be some other reasons which I cannot guess. Ok, lets c if you can access your page through IE( thought IE says that there are errors in page) and not through Netscape, that means in the result page you have a wrong path to your javascript file. Its always possible when you use a relative path in your servlet or jsp output page and use servlet to get that page. I would rather use %=request.getContextPath()%/javascriptDirectory/myjsfile.js instead of some thing like ../../javascriptDirectory/myjsfile.js hope this helps, Raj -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Adams Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 10:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Why am I getting a Javascript file instead of my servlet ?
