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. craigt Dragon-4 wrote: > > CraigT wrote: > >>Hello, >> >>I've built an app with Perl (5.8)/CGI, Javscript, and CSS. Its running on a >>Windows XP Home (development box) using Apache 2.
