If you expect the html page to be parsed for #exec, then that is certainly server-side includes and you'll need to configure your server for it by assuring that the directory where the HTML pages lives has "Options Includes" and that you have "AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html" (or whatever file extension the html page is using). Also, you should always use #include virtual in preference to #exec cgi, and the syntax is something like <!--#include virtual=/cgi-bin/xxx.pl --> See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_include.html Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
