: Re: having a html button/check box call a perl subroutine<BR> <BR><FONT face="Default Monos
pace,Courier New,Courier,monospace" size=2> Firstly, have you looked into combining CSS with 
your javascript?<BR> There are plenty of resources on the web that describe how to use the &n
bsp;<BR> inline parameter to display and hide content.<BR><BR>You won't be able to run a perl
 sub after your page has been rendered &nbsp;<BR> unless you run your script again.<BR>One of
 the most obvious ways is to refresh the page (ie. run the script &nbsp;<BR> again) when the 
checkbox is pressed.<BR> <BR>I haven't done this with a checkbox but I have used a round-abou
t way &nbsp;<BR> of getting a javascript action button to run a Perl sub.<BR>I used a simple 
javascript action button. With the CGI module I used:<BR> <BR>$cgiObject-&gt;button(-name=&gt
;'nameofbutton',-value=&gt;' Label of &nbsp;<BR> Button',-onClick=&gt;"window.open('nameOfScr
ipt? <BR> x=param1&amp;y=param2&amp;z=param3'... )")<BR><BR>A javascript action button is dis
played and when clicked opens a new &nbsp;<BR> window and goes to the address specified using
 the particular params.<BR> One of the params is a flag to indicate a basic function mode for
 the &nbsp;<BR> script; basically which sub should be run (in the example 'x').<BR><BR>Toward
s the start of my script I have something like this ($qaz is the &nbsp;<BR> CGI object):<BR><
BR> if (defined( $qaz-&gt;param('x') )){<BR><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN>if ($qaz-&gt
;param('x') eq 'value1'){<BR> <SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n
bsp;</SPAN> runSub1();<BR><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN>}<BR><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&
nbsp;</SPAN> if ($qaz-&gt;param('x') eq 'value2'){<BR><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN><S
PAN> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN>runSub2();<BR><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN>}<BR><
SPAN> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN>...<BR>}<BR><BR>You should be able to do something simil
ar with a checkbox using &nbsp;<BR> onClick. Use the window.location.replace(x) function to r
eload the &nbsp;<BR> current page.<BR>Of course, 'x' represents the script name with the para
meter list. If &nbsp;<BR> you use the same sub to set the content and use the param list to a
lter &nbsp;<BR> what is set by that sub then code duplication is minimised - you don't &nbsp;
<BR> need multiple subs to set up different page content if the 'page' &nbsp;is &nbsp;<BR>pra
ctically the same.<BR> <BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Lachlan.<BR><BR><BR>On 24 Jul 2007, at 7:02, Dhivya
