Thanks for responding Dragon. I added the JavaScript mime type to the HTTPD
file. I restarted the server and tried to load the external JavaScript
file into the .CGI process from the supra-directory (root) and a
subdirectory to the cgi-bin directory. The load from the root did not
work. The load from the subdirectory tried to work but attempted to
execute the .JS file like a Perl/CGI program according to the Apache log.
The content type is given as below.
<script type='text/JavaScript' src='js/rnd.js'></script>
I need more guidance.
Thanks again.
