To use external .js file in CGI-Perl

[umamahi]

If i use a .js file in HTML then its working.

<script src="Y:\Apache\cgi-bin\babts\activewidget\aw.js"></script>
<link href="Y:\Apache\cgi-bin\babts\activewidget\styles\xp\aw.css" rel="stylesheet"></link>

But if i included a .js file like,

<link href="../babts/activewidget/styles/xp/aw.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css">
<script src="../babts/activewidget/aw.js"></script>then its not working.

the error "object is undefined,object is null or not an object" comes.
How to get rid of it???

Well, ignoring that this isn't really perl related. The below link is obviously your problem:

<script src="../babts/activewidget/aw.js"></script>then its not working.

Whatever html file that contains this bit of code isn't able to find aw.js. Not knowing what the path of the html file is, and where it is "relative" to aw.js, I cannot tell you what the proper path would be. Just as a random guess, I would say remove the "..".

The reason included javascript (i.e. <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js">) does not work, is because must likely the "file.js" was placed in a directory that was configured as cgi. If you move the file outside the cgi path then you can reference it and it will work. ex. I moved my script file from:
/var/www/cgi-bin/apps/file.js to
/var/www/js/file.js.

This should work.
